EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion in the quaint village of Trevethoe, Churchtown, Lelant, near St Ives, Cornwall. The year is 1902, and the Boer War has just come to an end. As a symbol of triumph and unity, a resplendent brass band leads a joyous procession at the entrance to Churchtown by the gate to Trevethoe. The scene is filled with exuberance as soldiers who have returned from war proudly ride in horse-drawn carts alongside other civilians. Flags flutter in the gentle breeze; among them is the iconic Union Jack representing their loyalty to Great Britain. The atmosphere brims with celebration and gratitude for those who served their country. Photographed by Samuel John Govier, this remarkable image immortalizes not only an important historical event but also showcases Cornish pride and resilience. It serves as a testament to how communities come together during times of hardship and emerge stronger than ever. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the power of camaraderie and shared experiences that bind us all together. This photograph stands as both an homage to those who fought bravely for their nation's cause and as a cherished memory etched into Cornwall's rich tapestry of history.
