EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from August 1919, we are transported back in time to witness a heartwarming gathering of ex-servicemen at Nansawsen, Ladock, Cornwall. Eighty brave individuals who had valiantly served their country during the tumultuous years of World War One can be seen here, coming together for an evening of entertainment and camaraderie. The image captures the serene beauty of the grounds in front of the house where these ex-servicemen have assembled. The lush greenery and vibrant flowers provide a picturesque backdrop as they engage in lively conversations and share stories that only those who have experienced war could truly understand. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully frames this momentous occasion, immortalizing not just a group photograph but also the spirit of resilience and unity that defined these men. Their faces reflect both pride for their service and relief at being able to find solace among comrades who shared similar trials and tribulations. This poignant snapshot serves as a testament to the enduring bond forged by these veterans as they navigate life beyond warfare. It reminds us all of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War One while offering an intimate glimpse into their lives after returning home. Preserved within Royal Cornwall Museum's archives, this remarkable piece allows us to honor these courageous souls whose legacy continues to inspire generations today.
