EDITORS COMMENTS
The C.I.V.'s Marching Down Ludgate Hill: A Patriotic Display of Support for the British Army Heading to South Africa, c1900 This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as the City of London Imperial Volunteers (C.I.V.) make their way from the Mansion House to Waterloo Station in London, en route to fight in the Second Boer War. The C.I.V., a British corps of volunteers, is depicted here in their distinctive uniforms, complete with slouch hats and long coats, as they march down Ludgate Hill amidst cheering crowds. The scene is filled with a sense of excitement and patriotism, as the British public shows their support for the troops. The volunteers, a diverse group of men from various professions, are seen carrying flags and banners, while policemen maintain order in the crowd. The image is reminiscent of a scene from Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX, published by Cassell and Company, Limited, and was captured by the skilled hand of E.B. Hodgson. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the fashion of the time, as well as the concept of volunteer armies and the role they played in warfare. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during times of conflict, and the enduring spirit of patriotism that continues to inspire generations.
