EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Transvaal War, with the Gordons and Devons" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the essence of military life during the Second Boer War. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst a resting period for the soldiers. The Gordon Highlanders and Devonshire Regiment troops are depicted taking respite along Newcastle Road in South Africa. Their weary faces tell tales of hardship endured on their journey through war-torn lands. Elandslaagte serves as the backdrop for this poignant image, reminding us of the fierce battles fought during this conflict. The soldiers' uniforms bear witness to their bravery and dedication to duty. As we observe these men caught in a moment of rest, it is impossible not to feel a sense of admiration for their resilience and sacrifice. This engraving originally appeared in The Illustrated London News on November 18th, 1899 – providing readers with a visual representation of events unfolding far away from home. Now preserved within private collections worldwide, this lithograph continues to serve as a testament to those who fought valiantly during the Transvaal War. Through its intricate details and skilled craftsmanship, it allows us to reflect upon an important chapter in history that should never be forgotten.
