EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1915 transports us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry band at an unknown location during the First World War. The image showcases not only the brave soldiers but also their beloved dog mascot, symbolizing loyalty and companionship amidst the chaos of war. The photograph seems to depict a recruiting march, as the soldiers proudly parade with their instruments held high. The crowd surrounding them is filled with anticipation and admiration for these courageous men who have answered their nation's call. Instruments such as trombones, trumpets, and French horns can be seen gleaming under the sunlight, ready to produce melodies that uplifted spirits on both sides of the battlefield. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captures this poignant moment in time, freezing it forever within this frame. His lens reveals not just a military unit but also individuals who possess unwavering determination and resilience in times of adversity. As we gaze upon this historical artifact housed within Royal Cornwall Museum's collection, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who fought valiantly during World War I. This image serves as a testament to their bravery while offering insight into one small aspect of life on the front lines - camaraderie through music and an unbreakable bond between man and his loyal canine companion.
