EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving titled "Disturbed South Africa, with the First Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders" captures a dramatic moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the bravery and resilience of military forces amidst challenging circumstances. Set against the backdrop of Wynberg flats, we witness a surprising encounter between the battalion and their surroundings. The soldiers stand tall and vigilant as they are caught off guard by unexpected adversaries. A sentinel keeps watch while a cobra slithers nearby, symbolizing both danger and stealth. In this field day skirmish, members of the First Battalion Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders find themselves engaged in combat with various creatures native to South Africa's rugged terrain. Earth pigs scatter as startled soldiers defend themselves against these formidable opponents. Led by a determined lieutenant, these brave men demonstrate their unwavering commitment to protecting their comrades and securing victory on foreign soil. Despite being attacked from all sides, they remain resolute in their mission. This image serves as a testament to the challenges faced during times of conflict. It reminds us that even when confronted with unfamiliar landscapes and unpredictable foes like aardvarks lurking beneath the surface, courage prevails. Through this historic engraving preserved within private collections today, we gain insight into an era where military prowess was tested under extraordinary circumstances - Disturbed South Africa indeed!
