EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking military print captures a moment in history as HRH The Prince of Wales, Colonel of the 10th Hussars, stands proudly among his troops during the Boer War. The photograph, taken by renowned photographers Gregory and Co, showcases the Prince's leadership and dedication to his regiment. The 10th Hussars, also known as the "Prince of Wales's Own," was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, and the Prince's connection to the unit began in 1856 when he was appointed as its Colonel. The regiment saw action in various conflicts, including the Crimean War and the Second Anglo-Afghan War, before being deployed to South Africa to put down the Second Boer War in 1899. In this image, The Prince of Wales, dressed in his full military uniform, is seen addressing his men with a determined expression on his face. The soldiers, equally attired, stand at attention, their gazes fixed on their Colonel. The backdrop of the African landscape, with its rugged terrain and vast open skies, underscores the vastness of the conflict and the importance of the Prince's role in leading his troops. The Boer War, which lasted from 1899 to 1902, was a significant turning point in the history of the British Empire. The conflict saw the use of new military tactics and technologies, such as the Maxim gun and concentration camps, which had far-reaching consequences. This photograph is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought in this war and to the leadership of HRH The Prince of Wales, who stood by them as their Colonel.
