EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in the midst of exhilarating action, this print showcases the Household Brigade steeplechase at Hawthorn Hill on 9th April 1927. Leading the charge is none other than Colonel Freyberg, VC, a distinguished figure among his friends and fellow race goers. With their bowler hats firmly in place, these men epitomize the elegance and spirit of European sporting culture between the wars. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from history, allowing us to immerse ourselves in an era long gone. The intensity on Colonel Freyberg's face reflects his determination as he navigates through each hurdle with skill and precision. His companions cheer him on from the sidelines, their excitement palpable even through the lens of time. This photograph not only captures a thrilling moment in sport but also pays homage to bravery and valor. Colonel Freyberg's Victoria Cross distinction serves as a reminder of his heroic deeds during World War I. It is no wonder that he commands such respect among those who surround him. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk, this image offers us a glimpse into an extraordinary event that brought together both athletes and spectators alike. As we admire this piece of Europeana photography, we are transported back to an age where camaraderie thrived amidst competition.
