In this print titled "The Royal Artillery Drag Hunt, from Woolwich, met at Green Street Green; Captain Crawford was the Master" we are transported back to October 1934. The image captures a moment of rural sport and camaraderie as the hunt gathers in an unexpected setting - the incongruous backdrop of the Green Street by-pass. Amidst a sea of hounds and foxhounds eagerly awaiting their chase, Captain Crawford stands tall as the esteemed Master of this prestigious draghunt. His commanding presence exudes authority and passion for this beloved tradition. The scene evokes nostalgia for a bygone era, where men on horseback would gather to test their skills and instincts against nature's cunning. The thirties were marked by such pursuits that allowed individuals to momentarily escape the pressures of daily life and connect with nature. This photograph not only captures a snapshot in time but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of rural sports like draghunting. It reminds us that even amidst modernization and progress, there is still room for cherished traditions that bring people together in pursuit of shared passions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured between the wars, we can almost hear the thundering hooves, feel the excitement in the air, and appreciate how these timeless moments continue to shape our collective history.
