EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black and white portrait captures the stoic determination of an army corporal from the Brecknockshire Battalion, likely taken in the verdant gardens of Mid Wales during the early 20th century. The corporal, dressed in his full military uniform, proudly displays the insignia of his rank on his collar and cuffs, adorned with gold stripes and silver stars. His cap bears the distinctive peaked insignia of the Breconshire Regiment, signifying his connection to this historic Welsh battalion. The corporal's uniform is complete with a belt, holding a holstered pistol, and a cane at his side. A medal is pinned to his chest, a testament to his bravery and service in the Great War. The intricate details of his uniform, from the sleeve stripes to the cuff insignia, speak to the meticulous attention to detail that was expected of soldiers during this era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of the Welsh military, specifically the Brecknockshire Battalion, during a time of great upheaval and change. The corporal's steady gaze and unwavering posture convey a sense of pride and duty, making this a poignant and powerful image that resonates with viewers even today.
