EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the spirit of bravery and camaraderie among the soldiers of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). Among them is a young boy, John Francis Dunne, seated on the ground to the right, who played the crucial role of bugler in the regiment. At just 15 years old, Dunne saw action at the pivotal Battle of Colenso in December 1899. Despite the dangerous conditions and intense fire, he bravely sounded the call to advance and retreat, earning him the respect and admiration of his comrades. Dunne's heroism did not go unnoticed, and he was later awarded the Queen's South Africa Medal for his bravery. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s during the Victorian era, shows the soldiers in their military uniforms, with their stern expressions and determined postures, reflecting the harsh realities of wartime. The presence of the young bugler, a boy among men, adds an unexpected and poignant touch to the image, reminding us of the sacrifices made by children during times of conflict. This powerful photograph, part of The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Boer War and the remarkable story of a young hero who answered the call of duty.
