"Horse Artillery: A Powerful Force in History" Step back in time and witness the might of horse artillery, a formidable branch of military power. From chromolithographs to black and white photographs, these captivating images bring to life the gallantry and skill of soldiers from various nations. In 1889, Grenadier Guards and (Royal) Horse Artillery (Gunner) stood side by side, their uniforms proudly displayed in a vibrant chromolithograph. The Dadur lithograph from 1839 adds color to history as it showcases the strength and precision of horse artillery. Preparing for battle was no easy task, as seen in the black and white photograph capturing the Horse Picket of Royal Horse Artillery getting ready for an attack on Colesberg around 1899. The dedication and readiness radiate from their determined faces. The Boer War brought its own challenges, but Royal Horse Artillery remained steadfast at Slingersfontein circa 1899. This stereoscopic photograph transports us into that era, allowing us to witness firsthand their bravery amidst turmoil. Across borders, we find ourselves witnessing "The Cavalry Affair of the Heights of Bulganak - the First Gun. " This dramatic scene reminds us that horse artillery played a vital role in shaping historical events worldwide. Not limited to one nation alone, field artillery within the French Army is depicted through colored engravings. These vivid illustrations capture both elegance and firepower as horses gallop alongside cannons on vast battlefields. Even Dutch army horse artillery makes its mark with a colorful lithograph showcasing their contribution during times of conflict. Their presence serves as a reminder that this powerful force extended beyond national boundaries. Across continents, even across oceans lies US Army's Horse Artillery from 1865. Through this lithograph comes an appreciation for American soldiers who rode valiantly into battle atop majestic steeds while delivering devastating blows upon adversaries.
