EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative painting by Malcolm Greensmith, we see the Troop Sergeant Major of the 9th (Queens Royal) Lancers, proudly displaying the badge on his lower right arm that denotes his position as the best shot in the squadron. Dressed in the traditional uniform of the British cavalryman, complete with scarlet tunic, white breeches, and black boots, the sergeant major exudes an air of authority and expertise. The regimental sash, adorned with the royal crown and the motto "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt," (Where Duty and Glory Lead), adds to the historical significance of the image. The sergeant major's horse, with its elegant prance and regal bearing, reflects the proud tradition of the cavalry regiment. The year is 1905, and the sergeant major holds a whip in his right hand, ready to command his troops. In his left hand, he cradles his rifle, a testament to his skill as a marksman. The cropped crop in his left hand is a reminder of his role as a troop sergeant major, responsible for leading and managing a troop of soldiers. The 9th Lancers, also known as the Queen's Royal Lancers, have a rich history dating back to 1685. This painting captures a moment in time, showcasing the dedication, discipline, and expertise of the regiment's non-commissioned officers. The intricate details of the uniform, the horse's tack, and the sergeant major's expression all contribute to a vivid and authentic portrayal of military life during this era. This painting is an essential addition to any military history collection, providing a glimpse into the past of the 9th (Queens Royal) Lancers and the role of the troop sergeant major as the best shot in the squadron.
