EDITORS COMMENTS
The C Troop, Australian Contingent, Johannesburg (engraving) captures a pivotal moment in history during the late 19th century. This remarkable print showcases the bravery and camaraderie of the Australian soldiers who formed part of the British military force deployed to South Africa. The image depicts a group of determined soldiers standing tall with their rifles at hand, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. Their uniforms proudly display the insignia of the Australian contingent, symbolizing their unwavering loyalty and dedication to serving their country. This engraving is an illustration from The Illustrated London News, published on 25 February 1896. It provides a glimpse into one of the most significant events of that time – the Jameson Raid. The raid was an ill-fated attempt by Dr. Leander Starr Jameson and his men to overthrow President Paul Kruger's government in Transvaal. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the courage and resilience exhibited by these brave troops amidst challenging circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder of Australia's involvement in global conflicts and its commitment to upholding peace and justice around the world. The C Troop engraving is not just a historical artifact; it also represents an enduring legacy for future generations – reminding us all of our shared history and inspiring us with tales of heroism.
