EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of military education and training in the early 19th century. The image showcases wooden drill boxes, dating back to 1803, made from wood and printed paper. These intricate boxes were used as tools to instruct officers and soldiers on how to move together as a cohesive unit. The blocks depict soldiers from the London & Westminster Light Horse Volunteers, mounted on horseback, showcasing their expertise in cavalry drill. Each block represents a different formation or movement that was crucial for success on the battlefield. These wooden drill boxes served as an educational resource for troops preparing for battle during this era. They provided a visual representation of various formations and movements required during combat situations. The significance of these drill boxes extends beyond mere instruction; they symbolize discipline, unity, and precision within the armed forces. As soldiers practiced with these blocks, they honed their skills in synchronization and coordination while riding horses - essential attributes for any successful cavalry unit. Preserved at the National Army Museum in London, this historical artifact offers us a glimpse into military training methods of yesteryears. It stands as a testament to the dedication and commitment displayed by soldiers who trained rigorously to protect their nation's interests on horseback during times of war.
