"Navy Soldiers: A Rich Tapestry of History and Valor" From the Royalist cavalry charging at the Battle of Naseby during the English Civil War in 1645, to the African-American Marines bravely fighting in the Battle of Peleliu on September 15th, 1944, they have always been at the forefront of history. In an enchanting colour litho capturing the anniversary pilgrimage of over six thousand Alpine troops on Ortigara, we witness their unwavering dedication and sacrifice. These brave souls march forward with a sense of purpose ingrained in their hearts. Archduke Maximilian's visit to an armourer is immortalized through an exquisite engraving, showcasing his admiration for those who craft protection for warriors. Similarly, Mr Edwin J Bretts Collection of Armour at the Tudor Exhibition highlights not only intricate designs but also serves as a testament to our fascination with military history. Coloured engravings depicting military habits from centuries past transport us back to a time when chivalry reigned supreme. Richard the Lionheart's valiant spirit shines through a vibrant litho while another coloured engraving showcases armor from the illustrious 16th century - both reminding us that bravery knows no bounds. The Snow Soldiers depicted in a captivating colour litho remind us that even amidst freezing conditions, these ski patrol units fearlessly engage enemy scouts. Their determination echoes throughout history as they navigate treacherous terrains without hesitation. "The War of Prodigies" captured in vivid colours reminds us that battles are fought not just on physical battlegrounds but within ourselves too - where courage and resilience triumph over adversity. The "Boldness of Alpine Drums" resonates powerfully as it symbolizes unity and strength among soldiers marching into unknown territories. A poignant black-and-white photo transports us to Armistice Day in 1936 when Franklin Roosevelt stood alongside General John Pershing.
