EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the standard and uniforms of the 3rd Dragoon Guards, also known as the 'Prince of Wales's Own' regiment, in 1915. The regiment, which traces its history back to 1685, was renowned for its distinctive red uniforms and its association with the British monarchy. In the foreground, the regimental standard, a large rectangular flag bearing the regimental crest and the royal crown, stands proudly. The crest features a leopard's head and the motto 'Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt' (Where Duty and Glory Lead). The standard is carried by a soldier in full uniform, complete with bearskin hat, red tunic, white breeches, and black boots. Behind the standard, several soldiers on horseback are seen in their uniforms, their red jackets and white trousers contrasting sharply against the green landscape. The horses, also adorned with red and white regimental colors, are saddled and ready for action. The men, with their helmets and weapons at the ready, exude a sense of discipline and readiness. The 3rd Dragoon Guards had several nicknames throughout its history, including 'The Three' and 'The Buffs'. The regiment saw action in numerous conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Boer War, and both World Wars. The traditions and history of the regiment were passed down from generation to generation, making the uniforms and standards a symbol of pride and heritage. This photograph, taken in 1915, provides a glimpse into the past, capturing the essence of the 3rd Dragoon Guards during the 1910s. The image is a testament to the rich history and legacy of this esteemed British regiment.
