EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the officers of the 2nd Northumberland Fusiliers, a battalion that suffered a devastating blow during the events at Stormberg on December 9th. The image showcases the brave faces of these men who were captured in battle, their determination evident despite their circumstances. The composition is striking, with each officer standing tall and proud in their military uniforms. From Second Lieutenant Coulson to Major Sturges, Captain Morley to Second Lieutenant Wake and Captain Fletcher, they represent a diverse range of ranks within the battalion. Their expressions convey both strength and resilience amidst adversity. Taken by an English photographer from the 19th century, this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these soldiers during times of war. It was originally published in The Illustrated London News on December 16th, 1899. Displayed in monochrome tones, this historical artifact holds immense value as it immortalizes not only the officers but also commemorates all those who fought alongside them. Preserved within a private collection today, it stands as a testament to bravery and camaraderie exhibited by these individuals. Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the courage displayed by these men who faced capture at Stormberg. Their story echoes through generations as we remember their sacrifice and honor their service to our nation.
