This print captures a remarkable moment in history - Army manoeuvers in Orpingon, Kent during the 1930s. In this image, horses can be seen drawing artillery pieces, showcasing the incredible teamwork between these majestic animals and their human counterparts. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to the scene, transporting us back to an era between the wars. The photograph was taken by renowned photographer John Topham, whose keen eye for detail perfectly encapsulates the essence of this period. As we observe the crew members diligently working with their horses, it becomes evident that this is not just a simple drill or exercise; it is a display of military precision and discipline. The officer leading the procession exudes authority as he guides his horseman through each step of their training. The heavy horses are truly impressive in both size and strength, effortlessly pulling along the artillery pieces with determination. This image serves as a testament to their unwavering loyalty and dedication to serving alongside humans on the battlefield. In an age where technology dominates warfare, this print reminds us of a time when traditional methods were still employed. It offers us a glimpse into Europe's military past while highlighting the importance of collaboration between man and beast in achieving strategic objectives.
