EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment in history during the 2nd Boer War in South Africa. The image showcases British soldier Frederick Sleigh Roberts, also known as Lord Roberts, and his staff enjoying a meal amidst the harsh conditions of the veldt. Lord Roberts, a renowned field marshal and commander of the British army, led his troops against the Boers from 1899 to 1900. This photograph provides a glimpse into their daily lives on the battlefield. The men are dressed in military attire, emphasizing their dedication to duty even during mealtime. Their faces show determination mixed with exhaustion as they take respite from their arduous campaign. This image is taken from "The Life and Deeds of Earl Roberts" written by J. Maclaren Cobban in 1901. It offers us an invaluable visual record of this significant period in history. As we observe Lord Roberts and his staff gathered around that makeshift table on the veldt, we can't help but be reminded of their unwavering commitment to their country and its imperial ambitions. This print serves as a powerful testament to their bravery and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. It allows us to reflect upon not only Lord Robert's leadership but also pays homage to all those who fought alongside him during this pivotal chapter in British military history.
