EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a significant moment in history - the year 1905, when the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry military brass band marched through Truro's King Street and High Cross. The image beautifully captures the essence of this grand procession, with soldiers proudly parading down the street as onlookers eagerly line both sides. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and admiration, as men, women, and children alike gather to witness this remarkable display of military prowess. The musicians' instruments gleam under the sunlight while their uniforms exude discipline and tradition. It is evident that every detail has been meticulously attended to. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully freezes this fleeting moment in time for future generations to appreciate. His lens perfectly frames not only the marching band but also showcases a snapshot of life in early 20th-century Cornwall. This photograph serves as a testament to both local pride and national unity during an era marked by great change. As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served in World War I (though it had not yet occurred at the time). The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry would go on to play a crucial role during that conflict, further cementing their place in history. This print offers us a glimpse into Cornish heritage - its rich military traditions intertwined with community spirit - all captured within one frame by Arthur William Jordan's skilled eye.
