EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment during the Transvaal War, specifically scenes at Pietermaritzburg. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print showcases Lieutenant Roberts overseeing a bird's-eye view of military operations in South Africa. The image is filled with various figures, including a Kaffir policeman and members of the Royal Engineer and Rifle Brigade units. The composition beautifully portrays the hustle and bustle of wartime activity as soldiers stand guard while Major Baptie coordinates efforts at the railway station. In the background, we catch sight of a base hospital where members of the Royal Army Medical Corps tend to wounded soldiers. Colonel Noel and Colonel Pasha Gallwey can also be seen conversing near a group from RAMC (Royal Army Medical Corps). This photograph serves as both documentation and testament to those who served during this tumultuous period in history. Preserved within a private collection, this image offers viewers an intimate glimpse into life on the frontlines during the Second Boer War. With its impeccable detail captured through photography, it provides invaluable historical insight into one chapter of conflict that shaped South Africa's past.
