EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Monument to the 27th Inniskillings, standing proudly on Harts Hill near Colenso, Natal, South Africa. The image takes us back to the Boer War in 1901, a significant conflict that shaped history. Underwood & Underwood skillfully captured this moment on a stereoscopic card, adding depth and realism to the scene. The monument itself holds great significance as it commemorates the brave soldiers of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers who fought valiantly during the Battle of Tugela Heights. On February 23rd, 1900, they made a courageous yet unsuccessful attempt to conquer this very hill. Tragically, their sacrifice was immense with a staggering loss of 72% of officers and 27% of men. As we gaze upon this monochrome image, we are transported to an era when warfare was prevalent and colonialism played a major role in shaping nations. The British Empire's presence is evident through its army's involvement in far-flung conflicts like these. This photograph serves as both a war memorial and a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. It reminds us of those who gave their lives for their country and prompts us to reflect on the cost of war. Let us remember these fallen heroes as we contemplate this powerful image etched into history by The Print Collector and preserved by Heritage Images for generations to come.
