EDITORS COMMENTS
In this remarkable print captured by photographer T. H. Williams, we are transported back to the year 1916 in Cornwall during the tumultuous times of World War One. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers standing proudly in front of a military covered lorry, their stoic expressions revealing both determination and camaraderie. The ruggedness of the Cornish landscape serves as an evocative backdrop for these men who have answered their nation's call to duty. Dressed in their uniformed attire, they stand tall with unwavering resolve, ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead on the battlefields. The military covered lorry itself stands as a symbol of transportation and logistics during wartime. Its sturdy construction suggests its ability to navigate through treacherous terrains while providing essential supplies and support to troops stationed far from home. This poignant photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays tribute to the countless sacrifices made by these courageous individuals who fought valiantly for freedom and peace. It serves as a reminder of the indomitable spirit that prevailed during one of history's most challenging periods. Preserved within the archives at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers us an intimate glimpse into our shared past – reminding us never to forget those who served selflessly so that future generations could live without fear or oppression.
