EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of respite for the Grenadier Guards during their time in South Africa around 1900. The image, taken by Underwood & Underwood, showcases the toils faced by Lord Roberts and his troops as they embarked on a great march through the Transvaal. In this stereoscopic photograph from the Boer War era, we see members of the 2nd and 3rd battalions of the Grenadier Guards taking a break from their duties. These brave soldiers arrived in South Africa in April 1900 and were assigned to different divisions within the British Army. The scene depicts infantrymen resting alongside bullock-drawn wagons that carry essential equipment for their military operations. The exhaustion is evident on their faces as they find solace amidst challenging circumstances. This snapshot is part of a collection titled "South African War through the Stereoscope Pt 2 Vol 1" published by Underwood and Underwood. It offers viewers an immersive glimpse into one aspect of this historic conflict. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both the sacrifices made by these courageous soldiers and the harsh realities faced during times of war.
