Created by artist Ralph Cleaver in 1902, this print showcases a mesmerizing spectacle that took place on June 5,1897. The scene is filled with an array of military regiments from around the world, each showcasing their unique traditions and skills. Grenadier Guards, Queens, Fusiliers, Highlanders, Coldstream Guards - all proudly donning their distinctive uniforms - come together to create a vibrant display of military prowess. Amongst the highlights is a thrilling Dyak War Dance performed by tribal warriors from distant lands. Their rhythmic movements and choreography add an exotic touch to this already diverse event. Meanwhile, buglers from the 8th Hussars sound their instruments with precision as drummers keep time for the marching soldiers. Notably present are representatives from Australia's armed forces: New South Wales Mounted Rifles and West Australian troops join in celebration alongside their British counterparts. This international gathering further emphasizes the global reach of this prestigious tournament. As spectators watch in awe within London's Agricultural Hall, they witness various demonstrations such as throwing competitions and equestrian displays by renowned cavalry units like Inniskilling Dragoons and Blues.
