EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Sons of the Empire, Departure of New South Wales Lancers from Parramatta for Training at Aldershot" captures a significant moment in Australian military history. Created by Henry Charles Seppings Wright in 1899, this print showcases the departure of the New South Wales Lancers as they set off for training in Aldershot. The image depicts a reforming contingent of soldiers standing proudly in their ranks, ready to embark on their journey. The Governor and other high-ranking officials are present to bid them farewell and offer words of encouragement. Lieutenant W. J. S Rundle and Captain C. F Cox can be seen addressing the troops while demonstrating sword exercises. Accompanying the soldiers are Lieutenants F Osborne and Lord Hampden, who will provide guidance during their time at camp. The scene is filled with anticipation as these brave men prepare themselves for rigorous military training far away from home. This engraving serves as a testament to Australia's commitment to its imperial ties and highlights the dedication and bravery displayed by its sons. It also symbolizes unity among different regions within Australia, with soldiers hailing from New South Wales, South Australia, West Australia, and other parts of Oceania. Henry Charles Seppings Wright's attention to detail brings this historical moment to life through his meticulous brushstrokes. This print not only commemorates an important event but also offers viewers a glimpse into Australian military traditions that have shaped the nation's identity over time.
