EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures Horatio, Lord Kitchener on horseback, inspecting the militia in the colonial outpost of Tasmania during the late 1800s. The image, taken around 1850, portrays Kitchener in his distinctive military attire, complete with handlebar moustache, as he surveys his troops with an air of authority and confidence. Lord Kitchener, a British statesman and military leader, served as the Secretary of State for the Colonies from 1892 to 1895, during which time he visited several British colonies, including Tasmania. His visit to the militia was an opportunity to assess the readiness and capabilities of the colonial forces, ensuring they were prepared to defend against potential threats. The photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time, showcasing the military presence in Tasmania during the colonial era. The rugged terrain and open landscape of the location further emphasize the importance of maintaining a strong military presence in the far-flung reaches of the British Empire. As one of the most recognizable figures in British military history, Lord Kitchener's legacy extends far beyond this photograph. He would go on to lead the British Army during the Second Boer War and later, during World War I, where he famously recruited the "Kitchener Army" to bolster British forces. This photograph, however, serves as a poignant reminder of his early career and his role in shaping the British colonial presence in Tasmania.
