EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Royal Escort of Life Guards, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, as they parade outside St. James's Palace in London during the early 1910s. The Life Guards, founded in 1650, are one of the oldest and most prestigious regiments in the British military, known for their distinctive red and black uniforms and their association with the monarchy. In this image, we see the guardsmen riding their horses in formation, their rifles at the ready and their bayonets fixed. The horses, too, are outfitted in regimental gear, with their black caparisons adorned with the regimental crest of a wolffhound. The scene exudes an air of discipline, tradition, and pride, as the soldiers prepare for their duties as the Queen's personal bodyguard. The Royal Escort of Life Guards has a rich history and is known for its unique nicknames, such as "The Old Guard" and "The Buffs." The regiment has seen action in numerous conflicts, including the English Civil War, the Napoleonic Wars, and both World Wars. The guardsmen's dedication to their duty and their commitment to upholding the traditions of the regiment have made them a beloved and iconic part of British military history. This photograph, taken by renowned photographer Terry Parker, offers a rare glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when horse-mounted soldiers were a common sight on the streets of London and the role of the monarchy in the lives of its people was a central part of national identity.
