Bazentin Cavalry Ranks Ridge Somme Deccan Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment of quiet anticipation before the charge during the Battle of Bazentin Ridge, a pivotal moment in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The Deccan Horse, an Indian cavalry regiment, are lined up in ranks in the Carnoy Valley, their horses' ears pricked and eyes focused, as they wait for the order to advance. The Battle of Bazentin Ridge marked the beginning of the second phase of the Battle of the Somme, one of the largest and deadliest battles in World War I. The Deccan Horse, a distinguished regiment of the British Indian Army, played a significant role in this historic engagement. Later that day, they would wield their lances in a daring cavalry charge against the German position in High Wood, the last such charge of the war. The charge, which took place on July 1, 1916, was a desperate attempt to break through the German lines and gain a strategic advantage. The photograph, taken during this momentous day, provides a glimpse into the bravery and determination of the soldiers and their mounts. The wooded landscape, with its rolling hills and verdant foliage, adds to the sense of tranquility before the storm of battle. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Deccan Horse and other regiments during the Great War." This photograph is a valuable historical record of the Battle of the Somme and the role of the Indian cavalry in World War I. It is a reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought in this epic battle, and the importance of preserving the history of their sacrifices.
