EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured etching, titled "Soldiers on a march" transports us back to the year 1811. Created by G. M. Woodward and published by Rowlandson, this engraving offers a unique glimpse into the world of military life during that time. The image depicts soldiers from the 3rd (East Kent) Regiment of Foot, also known as The Buffs, marching in unison through a stream or river. Their determined faces reveal their commitment to duty and discipline. Interestingly, accompanying them are women and children who seem to be part of their journey. As we delve deeper into the scene, we notice babies being carried by some soldiers while others wade through the water with young ones clinging onto them for support. This unexpected presence adds an element of tenderness amidst the harshness of military life. Woodward's skillful caricature style brings out both humor and realism in this artwork. The exaggerated features and expressions add a touch of light-heartedness to an otherwise serious subject matter. Overall, this engraving captures not only the physical exertion involved in military marches but also highlights the human side behind these brave soldiers' uniforms. It serves as a reminder that even in times of war or conflict, there is room for compassion and familial bonds within these dedicated troops.
