EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "War kite drill" takes us back to the early 20th century and offers a glimpse into army life in Great Britain. The image showcases British soldiers engaged in a unique military exercise involving kites, an unconventional but ingenious approach to training. The soldiers are seen meticulously maneuvering their kites with precision and skill, demonstrating their dedication to mastering this unorthodox method of combat. This drill highlights the innovative thinking and adaptability of the British armed forces during this era. The print is part of a series of cigarette cards on Army Life published by John Player, which aimed to provide insight into various aspects of military culture. It serves as both an educational tool and a visual representation of the bravery and resourcefulness exhibited by these troops. Intriguingly, this artwork also hints at the historical context surrounding Europe at that time. With references to Germany scattered throughout the caption, it suggests that this particular drill may have been influenced by German military tactics or perhaps served as preparation for potential conflict with Germany. Overall, "War kite drill" not only captures a moment in history but also invites viewers to ponder upon the ingenuity displayed by soldiers in times of war.
