EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the solemnity of the War memorial on Boscawen Street in Truro, Cornwall. Taken on 12th November 1922, it showcases a wreath-bedecked memorial surrounded by a crowd of onlookers paying their respects. The memorial was unveiled just a month earlier, on 15th October 1922, as a lasting tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War (1914-1918). As time went on, this significant monument came to represent more than just one conflict. It now stands as a symbol of remembrance for not only those lost in the Second World War (1939-1945), but also for brave souls who perished in subsequent conflicts such as the Falklands Conflict (1982) and Afghanistan (2001-2014). The photo also provides glimpses into Truro's bustling commercial scene at that time. Prominent businesses like Heard and Sons, Cornwall Organ Factory, N. Gill and Sons, and Jordan Central News Agency can be seen alongside Jordan's Printing Works - which interestingly enough was owned by Arthur William Jordan himself; he is responsible for capturing this powerful image. Preserved within the archives of Royal Cornwall Museum, this evocative print serves as a timeless reminder of sacrifice and valor while offering us an intriguing glimpse into both historical events and everyday life in early twentieth-century Cornwall.
