Advancing at the Gallop 1884


A detail from a painting by O Norie which shows the commanding officer galloping alongside the battery, followed by the Battery Sergeant-Major on his off-side and the trumpeter on the near-side. They all wear the tall pre-1888 busby, and the swords are pre-1885. There are no valises on the back of the saddle so this is review order.
