EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Australian Bushmen on the March during the Second Boer War. Taken in South Africa between 1899 and 1901, this image showcases around 20,000 courageous Australians who served their country during this conflict. Tragically, approximately 1,000 of these brave soldiers lost their lives. The photograph is part of "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria" published in London in 1901. It provides a glimpse into colonialism and warfare during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In this picture, we see a group of determined men riding on horseback as part of a cavalry regiment. Clad in military attire with rifles slung across their shoulders, they exude strength and resilience. The horses they ride are equally impressive – sturdy companions that aided them throughout their arduous journeys. It is worth noting that this photo was taken by an unknown photographer but has been preserved by The Print Collector through Heritage Images. This historical artifact serves as a reminder of Australia's contribution to global conflicts and honors those who fought for their country's ideals far from home. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember the sacrifices made by these Australian troops and pay tribute to all individuals who have dedicated themselves to protecting our nations throughout history.
