EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the vibrant energy and military precision of a bygone era. This 19th-century engraving, now part of a private collection, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of soldiers engaged in rigorous training exercises. In this scene, we witness troops picking their way across a canal bridge while maintaining perfect formation. The soldiers are careful not to break step, as stray notes from an unseen bugler drift through the air. Horses stand at attention nearby, ready for action at any moment. The derelict surroundings contrast with the disciplined nature of the military exercise. The dilapidated bridge serves as a reminder of past battles fought on these very grounds. Yet amidst this historical backdrop, there is an undeniable sense of camaraderie and determination among the troops. As we delve deeper into this image, our eyes are drawn to small details that add depth and character to the scene: an Aldershot Derby dog playfully chasing after its own tail and pickets securing equipment along the canal's edge. This print transports us back in time to witness firsthand what it meant to be part of a field day at Aldershot - where discipline met adventure and teamwork was paramount. It serves as both a testament to military history and an ode to those who dedicated their lives to serving their country.
