Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this print is part of a private collection. The image showcases a variety of elements from this historical period. In the foreground, military personnel can be seen guarding fortifications while biscuit boxes and ammunition boxes are scattered around. Horses graze nearby as Goorkha servants attend to their duties. In the distance, a war balloon hovers above, providing surveillance for naval officers who command guns on fortified ramparts. The landscape is dotted with tents and structures that make up Rensburg Camp, where soldiers from Canada and other parts of North America are stationed alongside British forces. The photograph offers a glimpse into life during wartime, capturing both the organized chaos of military operations and moments of respite amidst the turmoil.
