EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Isandhlwana across the nek" captures a haunting aftermath of the Battle of Isandlwana during the Zulu War in 1879. Taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, this image is part of an album compiled by George Froom, a member of the 94th Regiment. In this scene, we see a rugged cliff towering above carts and wagons scattered across rocky terrain. The sheer magnitude of destruction is evident as remnants of battle linger in every detail. The jagged rocks and mountain outcrop serve as silent witnesses to the tragic events that unfolded on January 22nd, 1879. The photograph offers a glimpse into history, showcasing not only the physical aftermath but also conveying a sense of loss and despair. It serves as a poignant reminder of the British defeat at Isandlwana and pays tribute to those who lost their lives in this fateful encounter. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this powerful image invites us to reflect upon the consequences of war while appreciating photography's ability to capture moments frozen in time. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, let us remember its significance and honor those who have endured such conflicts throughout our shared past.
