EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the DCLI recruiting march that took place on the 18th of June, 1915, in St Just, Penwith, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of soldiers from the renowned 3rd Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry engaged in their recruitment efforts during World War I. Amidst the crowd stands one soldier wearing an unexpected accessory - a top hat. The arresting scene unfolds before our eyes as we witness fellow soldiers apprehending this peculiarly attired comrade. What could have led to such an unusual confrontation? Was it merely a light-hearted moment amidst the seriousness of war or perhaps an act symbolizing unity and camaraderie within their ranks? Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, this snapshot freezes time and invites us to ponder upon the untold stories behind these brave men who answered their nation's call. Their dedication and sacrifice echo through generations, reminding us of the resilience exhibited during times of conflict. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder not only of Cornish history but also pays homage to those who fought valiantly for peace and freedom. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us reflect on their bravery while honoring their memory with gratitude and respect
