EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fifth Gurkhas, 1901. This print captures a significant moment in history during the period of the British Raj. The Nepalese soldiers, known as Gurkhas, have been an integral part of the British Army since the 19th century. The image is taken from 'The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts', Volume II, written by J. Maclaren Cobban and published in 1901 by T. C. & E. C. Jack in Edinburgh. In this remarkable photograph by F Bremner, we see a group of brave Gurkha soldiers standing proudly in their traditional attire against a backdrop that symbolizes both their heritage and their service to Britain's imperial ambitions. Each soldier exudes strength and determination as they carry their guns with precision. Notably, one soldier stands out playing bagpipes - a testament to the diverse cultures within the British Empire at that time. The harmonious blend of music and military might showcases the unique bond between these Nepalese warriors and their adopted country. This image serves as a reminder of Nepal's rich history intertwined with Britain's colonial past while honoring the bravery and loyalty displayed by these extraordinary men who fought alongside Lord Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Baron Roberts of Kandahar. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, it evokes feelings of admiration for these gallant individuals who left behind their homeland to serve another nation thousands of miles away.
