EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment in history during the Second Boer War. Titled "Troops for the Transvaal" this image was taken by an English photographer in the 20th century and is now part of a private collection. The photo depicts a farewell supper held on January 19,1900, for soldiers who were about to sail to South Africa. The composition showcases a diverse group of military personnel from different companies, including the City Imperial Volunteers and the Bloomsbury Rifles. They gather together at Gray's Inn, with their treasurer present among them. The atmosphere is solemn yet resolute as these troops prepare themselves mentally and emotionally for what lies ahead. The significance of this photograph lies not only in its historical context but also in its visual storytelling through photography. It offers us a glimpse into the camaraderie shared amongst these brave men before they embarked on their journey to fight in the Transvaal region. Preserved by Bridgeman Images, this print serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served during times of conflict. It stands as a testament to both the power of photography as an art form and our collective duty to remember and honor those who have fought for our freedom.
