A spirited charger being exercised at a remount depot in the North of England
A spirited charger being exercised at a remount depot in the North of England. Rather skittish, nervous and excitable, but the sergeant major knows how to deal with that.
The Army Remount Service was the body responsible for the purchase and training of horses and mules as remounts for the British Army between 1887 and 1942.
Picture caption suggests North of England, but the picture is from a Derby newspaper,
more Midlands or Derbyshire, suggesting it could be there instead.
Picture passed by censor. Picture number 011770
Picture taken 26th March 1940

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints captures a spirited charger being exercised at a remount depot in the North of England during the Second World War. The horse, rather skittish, nervous, and excitable, is under the watchful eye of a knowledgeable sergeant major who knows exactly how to handle such temperament. The Army Remount Service played a crucial role in procuring and training horses and mules for the British Army between 1887 and 1942. This particular image suggests it was taken in the North of England, but interestingly enough, it originates from a Derby newspaper, indicating that it may actually be located in the Midlands or Derbyshire instead. Passed by censor scrutiny with picture number 011770 on March 26th, 1940; this historical snapshot offers us an insight into wartime life on the home front. Amidst conflict and chaos, soldiers diligently trained their equine companions to ensure they were prepared for battle. The picturesque vista showcases lush woodlands as the backdrop for this equestrian exercise session. It serves as a reminder that even amidst war and turmoil, nature's beauty can still be found. As we delve into this remarkable photograph captured during one of history's darkest periods – World War II – let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also acknowledge the dedication and resilience displayed by both man and beast during those trying times.
