EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the West India Regiment in 1890, captured by the talented photographer Godfrey Douglas Giles. The image is a testament to the rich history of the British Empire and its military prowess during that era. In this portrait, we see a single soldier from the regiment dressed in his striking military uniform. His attire includes a vibrant red waistcoat adorned with intricate details, symbolizing his allegiance to Britain. A magnificent turban sits atop his head, showcasing both his cultural heritage and unique identity as a West Indian soldier. The soldier's piercing gaze looks away into the distance, perhaps contemplating the challenges he may face on duty or reflecting on his role within Her Majesty's Army. Holding a bayonet firmly in hand, he exudes strength and determination. This photograph not only captures an individual but also represents an entire community of brave men who served their country with honor and distinction. It offers us a glimpse into their lives during this significant period in history when Britain maintained control over its colonies in the Caribbean. Preserved through time, this remarkable print serves as a reminder of our shared past and highlights the contributions made by individuals from diverse backgrounds to shape our world today.
