The Publishing Officers and Editors Quarters of 'News of the Camp', c. 1880-81

EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photograph, we are transported back to the seige of Pretoria in 1880-81 during the Anglo Boer War. The image captures a significant moment in history when Charles Duval and Charles William Deecker, two dedicated editors, worked tirelessly to produce a tri-weekly publication called "The News of the Camp". With their guns by their side, both editors and compositors were ready to fight at any given moment if needed. This powerful display of dedication is evident as they fearlessly pursued their journalistic duties amidst the chaos of war. The print showcases an intimate glimpse into the publishing office where these brave individuals operated. Tents serve as makeshift quarters for these officers, highlighting the challenging conditions they faced while striving to keep soldiers informed about camp-life anecdotes, reports on engagements around Pretoria, and other news relevant to British troops. This remarkable piece from a private collection offers us a rare insight into an era long gone but not forgotten. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, information remains vital for morale and unity among troops. As we admire this historical photograph captured by an English photographer from the 19th century, let us appreciate those unsung heroes who risked their lives behind typewriters instead of rifles - reminding us that journalism can be just as courageous as any soldier on the battlefield.
