EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Horse Memorial in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, a poignant tribute to the over 300,000 horses that perished during the Second Boer War (1899-1902). The British military relied heavily on cavalry during the conflict, and the loss of such a large number of horses was a significant blow. The memorial, unveiled on 11th February 1905 by the Mayor of Port Elizabeth, Mr Alexander Fettes, stands as a testament to the gallantry and sacrifice of these animals. The statue, designed by Joseph Whitehead and sculpted by a local artist, depicts a sensitive horse reaching down to drink from a water trough. The lifelike representation of the horse's expression conveys the animal's intelligence and sensitivity, adding to the emotional impact of the memorial. The image of the horse drinking from the trough is a common one, as horses would often be given water breaks during long marches or battles. The Horse Memorial is located in the Eastern Cape region of South Africa, a area rich in history and cultural significance. The memorial serves as a reminder of the role horses played in the region's past, and the sacrifices made during times of war. The photograph, taken circa 1910, captures the Memorial in its early years, with the horse statue appearing pristine and the water trough still filled with fresh water. The image invites us to reflect on the history of Port Elizabeth and the Eastern Cape, and the important role horses played in shaping the region's past.
