EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1915, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the DCLI recruiting march in Cornwall during World War I. The image captures the essence of unity and camaraderie as soldiers and civilians come together for a common cause. Standing tall amidst the crowd is a bandsman, his musical instrument held firmly against his chest, symbolizing hope and resilience. Amidst the chaos of war, an act of kindness unfolds before our eyes. A generous soul extends a pouch of tobacco to the bandsman, acknowledging his dedication and sacrifice. This simple gesture speaks volumes about the unwavering support that communities offered their brave soldiers during those trying times. The location remains uncertain; however, it matters little when compared to the powerful emotions emanating from this scene. Behind them stands an imposing tree with branches reaching towards heaven - perhaps representing strength rooted deep within Cornwall's heritage. As we delve deeper into this remarkable photograph, we notice children peering curiously from behind buildings nearby. Their innocent faces serve as poignant reminders that war affects all aspects of society - young and old alike. Preserved by photographer Arthur William Jordan, this image serves as both a historical artifact and a testament to human resilience in times of adversity. It reminds us that even amid darkness, acts of compassion can illuminate our path forward.
