EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a significant moment in history - the entraining of Canadian Artillery troops at Ottawa during the Second Boer War. In this winter scene, soldiers can be seen climbing onto flat-bed railway wagons, preparing to transport heavy artillery to South Africa. The image is filled with a sense of determination and resilience as these brave men embark on their journey to serve their country. With over 7,000 Canadian soldiers and support personnel involved in the war effort, this photograph symbolizes Canada's commitment to its colonial ties and its role within the British Empire. The harsh winter weather adds an additional layer of challenge that these troops had to face as they prepared for battle. The print is part of "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. and the Life of Queen Alexandra", published in London in 1901. It serves as a reminder not only of Canada's involvement in global conflicts but also highlights the advancements made in transportation technology during that era. This image provides us with a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history when nations were grappling for power and influence across continents. It stands as a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who served their countries during times of war.
