EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on the 20th of April 1915, we are transported back in time to City Hall in Truro, Cornwall during the tumultuous era of the First World War. The image captures a poignant moment as soldiers from the Devon & Cornwall Light Infantry stand shoulder to shoulder with civilians outside City Hall, presumably partaking in a recruiting campaign. The composition is both striking and evocative; it showcases a diverse group of individuals united by their shared determination to contribute to the war effort. Their resolute expressions reflect both patriotism and an unwavering sense of duty amidst uncertain times. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully immortalizes this historic scene, freezing it within the confines of his lens for future generations to ponder upon. His keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the grandeur of City Hall but also provides insight into fashion trends and societal norms prevalent during that period. This remarkable photograph serves as a powerful reminder of how communities rallied together during times of crisis, transcending boundaries and backgrounds for a common cause. It stands as a testament to Cornish resilience and their significant role in shaping history amidst one of humanity's darkest chapters - World War One. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryears at Royal Cornwall Museum, let us honor those brave souls who selflessly served our nation while cherishing our collective heritage that binds us all together across time.
