EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry, a distinguished cavalry regiment with deep roots in Nottinghamshire, England, during the onset of World War II in 1939. The image showcases a formal group of officers and soldiers, proudly dressed in their Hussar uniforms, gathered around a campfire in the great outdoors. The regiment's mascot, a loyal and regal-looking dog, sits obediently at their feet. The Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry, originally known as the Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Cavalry, was a part of the Territorial Army, which meant that its members served in addition to their civilian occupations. The unit's history dates back to 1794, making it one of the oldest in the British Army. As Hussars, they were known for their light cavalry tactics and swift maneuvers on horseback. The soldiers in this photograph are seen in a moment of camaraderie and relaxation during their training, a crucial aspect of their preparation for the challenges that lay ahead. The 1930s, the era in which this photograph was taken, marked a period of significant military expansion and reorganization in response to the growing international tensions. This photograph is a testament to the dedication and spirit of the soldiers who served in the Sherwood Rangers Yeomanry during this pivotal time in history. The image transports us back to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the lives of these brave men and their loyal canine companion as they prepared to defend their country.
