Volunteering in British Burmah - A Glimpse into 19th Century Military Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Volunteering in British Burmah, to Insein with the Moulmein Rifles" offers a fascinating window into the world of military service during the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Durand Godefroy (1832-1896), this print captures a pivotal moment in history. The scene depicts an embarkation point where soldiers from the Moulmein Rifles are boarding ships, specifically the IGS Enterprise, to travel to Insein. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as men prepare for their journey and engage in various activities. Some can be seen firing rifles on board while others participate in roll call or watch intently as range attendants demonstrate their shooting skills. Amidst all this action, there are glimpses of everyday life within the military ranks. A solitary mess dinner takes place, providing a brief respite from duty. One soldier hastily shaves before departure while another engages in conversation with local girls nearby. The artwork also highlights elements of transportation and maritime culture prevalent at that time. Tugboats and boats dotting the river serve as means of transport for both soldiers and civilians alike. Overall, this engraving not only showcases Durand's artistic talent but also provides valuable insights into military life during this era. It serves as a testament to bravery, camaraderie, and dedication exhibited by those who volunteered their services far away from home - an enduring reminder of historical events that shaped our world today.
