In this print from the Royal Cornwall Museum, we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the 3rd DCLI recruiting march at Lizard Green, Landewednack, Cornwall on June 29th, 1915. The image captures the essence of patriotism and unity as brave men gather to enlist in the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry during World War I. At the forefront of this powerful scene is the renowned military band of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry, leading the spirited procession through The Lizard peninsula. Their resounding melodies echo through the air, inspiring both recruits and spectators alike. With their instruments held high and uniforms immaculate, they epitomize discipline and dedication. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of those who answered their country's call during these tumultuous times.

Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures not only an event but also an era defined by sacrifice and bravery.
