EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of Reuben Davey, a brave and dedicated soldier of the 17th/21st Lancers cavalry regiment, as he proudly rides his horse on the parade ground during the 1930s. The 17th/21st Lancers, a distinguished British cavalry regiment formed in 1922, is represented by the regimental badge on Reuben's cap, which features a leopard's head and the Arabic numerals '17' and '21'. The soldier's uniform is adorned with various insignia, including the regimental crest and the campaign stars earned by the regiment during its illustrious history. Reuben's horse is outfitted with the regimental standard and a lance, which are held firmly in place by the soldier. The regiment's signature lance pennon, a white flag with a red cross, is visible at the horse's head. Reuben's sword, slung at his side, is a reminder of the regiment's tradition of close combat and the importance of the cavalry charge in military strategy. The 17th/21st Lancers, also known as the 'Queen's Bays', have a rich and storied history, having served in numerous campaigns and conflicts, including the Boer War, World War I, and World War II. Reuben Davey and his comrades were part of a long line of valiant soldiers who upheld the regiment's motto, 'Fortuna Audaces Iuvat' (Fortune Favors the Bold). This photograph is a poignant reminder of the courage and dedication of the soldiers who served in the 17th/21st Lancers and the important role they played in British military history.
