EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "With the Troops on the Modder River" captures a significant moment from history during the Second Boer War. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is part of a private collection that sheds light on a crucial period in South African history. The photograph showcases members of the 18th battery, Highland Brigade, alongside General MacDonald and Lord Roberts. It offers a glimpse into life at camp near Modder River, where troops were stationed during this intense conflict. The soldiers are depicted amidst their daily routines, showcasing camaraderie and resilience despite challenging circumstances. Notably, this image also reveals elements beyond military operations. A boer prison can be seen in the background as well as Koodoosberg and Wilsons Hotel nearby. These details provide valuable insight into both sides of war - capturing not only moments of combat but also glimpses into civilian life amidst conflict. Preserved through photography, this historical document serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in the Second Boer War. Its inclusion in The Illustrated London News further emphasizes its significance to contemporary audiences seeking to understand past events.
