EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a historic moment in South African history - the departure of the 14th Hussars from Maitland Camp in 1900. The image, taken by Underwood & Underwood, showcases the soldiers on horseback as they prepare to join General Sir Redvers Buller's army in the intense battles of the Boer War. The 14th (King's) Hussars played a crucial role in the Relief of Ladysmith, participating in fierce combat that ultimately forced Louis Botha's Boers to lift their siege on the town. Maitland Camp, situated in Cape Town, served as their base before embarking on this significant campaign. This stereoscopic photograph is part of a collection titled "South African War through the Stereoscope Pt 2 Vol 1" published by Underwood and Underwood. It offers viewers a three-dimensional glimpse into this pivotal period of conflict. In this scene, we witness not only brave soldiers but also magnificent horses standing alongside them. The photo serves as a testament to both human courage and animal companionship during times of war. Preserved by Bridgeman Images and housed at London's National Army Museum, this print allows us to reflect upon our shared history while appreciating photography as an art form.
