EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a historic moment in Kingston-on-Thames, England. The image showcases the reception of the Service Corps of the 2nd East Surrey Volunteers upon their return from South Africa. The Mayor can be seen warmly welcoming the men at the Coronation Stone, creating a ceremonial atmosphere. The photograph, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, is part of a private collection. It was originally published as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on June 15,1901. In this scene, we witness a joyous celebration as the volunteers are greeted with open arms by their community.
