With the Cape Field Artillery in South Africa
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing a snapshot of military life during this time. The image captures a detachment of men from the Cape Field Artillery as they make their way through various terrains and encounters. In this print, we see soldiers crossing rivers, marching along bad roads, and setting up camp in unfamiliar territories. The scene depicts moments of camaraderie and duty as these brave men navigate challenging circumstances together. Amidst their arduous journey, there are glimpses of human connection. A young girl is seen helping one soldier while others gather around for warmth and shelter during cold nights. We witness acts of kindness as an orderly carries mail and an officer assists a Pondo chief. The engraving also offers insights into daily life within the military ranks. We catch glimpses of officers' baggage wagons, stable parades, non-commissioned officers enjoying Christmas dinner, and even a court martial proceeding. This historical artwork not only provides us with visual documentation but also invites contemplation on the resilience and sacrifices made by those who served in South Africa at that time. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by soldiers far away from home while highlighting their determination to fulfill their duties with honor.
