EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Rainy October Day in Haverfordwest: The Unveiling of the Boer War Memorial This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of the unveiling of the Boer War Memorial in Haverfordwest, South Wales, on a rainy October day in 1904. The memorial, located at St Mary the Virgin Church on the High Street, stands proudly amidst the gathered crowd, draped in the damp mist of a Welsh autumn. The memorial, a magnificent Celtic cross made from Cornish granite, bears the names of 44 Pembrokeshire men who lost their lives during the Boer War. The cross, with its intricate designs, stands as a symbol of remembrance and commemoration for the fallen heroes. Surrounding the memorial are local dignitaries, clergymen, and a police band, all braving the rain to pay their respects. The townspeople of Haverfordwest, umbrellas in hand, gather in the street, their faces etched with solemnity and pride. The musical notes of the police band waft through the air, adding a sense of solemnity to the occasion. The rain, rather than dampening the spirits, seems to have brought the community closer together, as they come together to honor their fallen brethren. The day's weather, though rainy, only adds to the historical and Edwardian charm of the scene. The umbrellas, with their distinctive shapes, create a unique tableau against the backdrop of the church and the memorial. This photograph is a poignant reminder of a bygone era, a time when communities came together to honor their fallen heroes, and the rain, rather than being a hindrance, became a symbol of unity and resilience.
