Volunteering in Ceylon - A Glimpse into Military Camaraderie and Cultural Exchange
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Volunteering in Ceylon, a Sham Fight at Kalutara" offers a fascinating snapshot of an event that took place in 19th-century Sri Lanka. The image depicts a lively scene where military volunteers from different backgrounds come together for a day filled with excitement and camaraderie. In the foreground, we see bandsmen sounding their instruments as the assembly eagerly awaits the arrival of fellow volunteers. On the right flank, soldiers are seen promenading confidently, preparing for what lies ahead. The plan of attack is discussed among officers while others distribute food and refreshments to sustain their comrades during this mock battle. The atmosphere is vibrant as participants enjoy a social meal amidst lush greenery and towering palm trees. Bananas, rice cakes, tea, and coffee are shared generously among friends from various cultures who have united under one cause – volunteering. As the sham fight commences, troops advance towards an eastern redoubt while stragglers capture our attention with their animated discussions about strategy. In another corner of the print, an ambulance stands ready to provide aid if needed. Beyond its military significance, this engraving also highlights cultural exchange between local Sri Lankans and foreign volunteers. It showcases Kalutara Fort's majestic presence alongside a railway bridge that symbolizes progress within this Asian nation. Through John Charles Dollman's skilled art
