EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Band of the 2nd Dragoon Guards, also known as Queens Bays, during the late Victorian era in 1896. The 2nd Dragoon Guards was a British cavalry regiment with a rich history that can be traced back to 1685. In this image, the musicians of the band are seen proudly riding on horseback while playing their brass instruments, including tubas, trombones, French horns, and drums. The red uniforms of the band members, adorned with gold braid and brass buttons, contrast sharply against the lush green landscape. The musicians wear distinctive helmets, adding to their regal appearance. The horses, too, are outfitted with ornate trappings and harnesses, reflecting the attention to detail and pride taken in both the men and their animals. This photograph provides a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique combination of music and military tradition that defined the Band of the 2nd Dragoon Guards during the 1890s.
