5919837 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot (Sherwood Foresters) forming square in drill, 1860 circa (b/w photo) by Unknown photographer, (19th century); National Army Museum, London; (add.info.: 45th (Nottinghamshire) Regiment of Foot (Sherwood Foresters) forming square in drill, 1860 circa. Photograph, India, 1860 circa. The traditional British tactic for opposing a cavalry attack was the square. In this formation an infantry regiment would draw up in a square with men on each side facing outwards with fixed bayonets. Although this tactic was out of date in Europe in an era of long-range and rapid-fire rifles, it was still a feature of late 19th century colonial campaigns against indigenous warriors, so British units in India still practised manoeuvring into position. From an album of 97 photographs, 1865 circa -1870.); by National Army Museum .
