EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful lithograph capturing a significant moment in history. Created by William Small in 1899, this print depicts a scene during the Boer War in South Africa. In the midst of battle, an authoritative military figure issues a heart-wrenching order to leave behind the wounded soldiers. The anguish and desperation on their faces are palpable as they realize they will not receive immediate medical attention for their injuries. Small's meticulous attention to detail brings forth the raw emotions felt by both those injured and those forced to abandon them. The composition skillfully conveys the chaos and urgency of war while highlighting the sacrifices made on both sides. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by soldiers during times of conflict. It sheds light on themes such as duty, sacrifice, and compassion amidst unimaginable circumstances. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of how far medicine and healthcare have come since then. It prompts us to reflect on our gratitude for advancements that now allow us to provide better care for wounded soldiers. "The Retreat from Dundee" is not just an artistic masterpiece; it also serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us never to forget those who have suffered in service to their countries.
