EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph titled "Inspection, Cheshire Regiment, Johannesburg, 1900" captures a significant moment during the Boer War. The image showcases the inspection of the Cheshire Regiment in the Fort at Johannesburg. Taken by Underwood & Underwood around 1900, this stereoscopic photograph offers a glimpse into history. During the Boer War, the 2nd Battalion of the Cheshire Regiment played an active role in various engagements such as Jacobsdal, Karree Siding, Brandfort, Vet, Sand River and eventually capturing Johannesburg. This particular photo immortalizes one of those pivotal moments when soldiers were inspected within their fortified position. In this image, we see rows of uniformed soldiers standing tall with bayonets fixed to their rifles. Their serious expressions reflect their dedication to duty and readiness for battle. The fortification behind them serves as a reminder of both protection and vulnerability amidst war-torn surroundings. This historical print is part of a collection entitled "South African War through the Stereoscope Pt 2 Vol 1" published by Underwood and Underwood in circa 1901. Preserved by National Army Museum in London, it allows us to witness an important chapter in military history. Through this powerful photograph captured over a century ago, we are reminded of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these men who served their country during tumultuous times.
