THE horses and soldiers of Kings Troop, Royal Horse Artillery emerge from the smoke of First World War artillery guns at the Windsor Castle Royal Tattoo.
This image, captured by Capt Tom McShane, earned the officer a runners-up prize in the 2009 Army Photographic Competition, which was held at the Imperial War Museum in London last month.
Awards for the best overall photographers as well as the most striking individual images were presented by Chief of the General Staff Gen Sir David Richards.
“Photography plays a key role in explaining the Army to the people of this country,” said Gen Richards. “There are some outstanding photographers and photographs here and I am delighted to be able to congratulate those soldiers who have won prizes.” |
