EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to the 2nd of July, 1915. It captures a significant moment during World War One, where members of the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry (DCLI) are seen taking a well-deserved break at Norway Inn in Perranarworthal, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of soldiers who have embarked on a recruiting march. Their tired faces and dusty uniforms tell tales of their arduous journey as they pause for refreshments at this quaint inn. The Norway Inn stands as an oasis amidst the chaos and uncertainty that war brings. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this poignant scene, immortalizing these brave men in history. Through his lens, we can almost feel their camaraderie and sense their determination to serve their country. This photograph serves as a reminder not only of the sacrifices made by those who fought during World War One but also highlights the strong Cornish connection within DCLI. The Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry holds deep roots within this region, making it all the more meaningful to witness them seeking respite on home soil. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us remember and honor these courageous individuals who selflessly defended our freedom during one of humanity's darkest times.
