Back from the War - A C. I. V. Invalided Home
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This black and white lithograph captures a poignant moment in history, depicting a soldier's return home after being wounded in the Second Boer War. The illustration is taken from "Battles of the Nineteenth Century: Vol. VII, The Boer War 1900-1901" authored by Archibald Forbes, G. A. Henty, and Major Arthur Griffiths. In this scene, we witness a train carriage where an injured soldier sits alongside his concerned family members. The soldier's physical pain is evident as he leans on crutches for support while wearing bandages to tend to his wounds. Despite his injuries, there is a sense of relief and joy emanating from him as he reunites with loved ones who eagerly await his return. The artist skillfully portrays the emotional atmosphere within the carriage; one can almost hear the whispers of heartfelt greetings and feel the warmth of familial love filling every corner. This image serves as a reminder not only of the sacrifices made by soldiers during times of war but also highlights their resilience and determination to overcome adversity. Through this powerful engraving, we are transported back to late nineteenth-century South Africa - an era marked by conflict but also characterized by unwavering bonds between families torn apart by war. It stands as a testament to both medical science's advancements in treating wartime injuries and humanity's enduring spirit in times of hardship.
