EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of grandeur and tradition as The Royal Scots Greys-2nd Dragoons come to attention during a review order in the late 1910s. The Colonel-in-Chief of the regiment at the time was Tsar Nicholas II of Russia, adding an extra layer of royal significance to the ceremony. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with the sun casting a warm glow over the assembled officers and their mounts. Each officer, impeccably dressed in their scarlet uniforms and bearskin hats, exudes confidence and pride as they prepare to receive the Tsar's inspection. The equestrian theme is further emphasized by the pristine horses, their coats glistening in the sunlight and their ears pricked forward in alertness. The officers' busbies, a distinctive feature of the Scots Greys' uniform, add a touch of color to the scene. The review order was a ceremonial event, marking the formal inspection of the troops by their commander. It was an occasion for the officers to demonstrate their discipline, horsemanship, and adherence to military protocol. The presence of the Tsar, as the Colonel-in-Chief, added an extra degree of formality and prestige to the event. The photograph captures a moment in time, frozen in history, of the proud tradition and heritage of The Royal Scots Greys-2nd Dragoons. It is a testament to the dedication and commitment of the officers and their mounts, as well as the enduring bond between the regiment and its colonial commander.
