EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the solemnity and sacrifice of the fallen heroes at the foot of Harts Hill in Colenso, South Africa during the Boer War in 1901. The image, taken by Underwood & Underwood, showcases a haunting scene that speaks volumes about the devastating consequences of war. In this monochrome photograph, we see a hillside cemetery adorned with crosses marking the final resting places of brave soldiers who lost their lives on this battlefield. The British army is represented here through its regiment, the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers, which suffered heavy casualties during an unsuccessful assault on Harts Hill. This tragic event took place on 23 February 1900 during the Battle of Tugela Heights. The composition highlights both individual graves and rows upon rows of gravestones stretching into the distance. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of those who perished but also of their collective sacrifice for their country and empire. The landscape itself reflects both geographical features and colonialism's impact on South Africa. Through stereoscopic photography techniques employed by Underwood & Underwood, this image brings depth to our understanding of history. As viewers engage with this print today, it prompts us to reflect on remembrance and honor those who gave their lives in service to their nation over a century ago.
