EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the Victorian period of the Commissariat and Transport Corps. The Commissariat and Transport Corps was an essential branch of the British Army during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, responsible for the supply and transportation of provisions, equipment, and other necessities for the military forces. In this evocative image, we see a group of soldiers from the Commissariat and Transport Corps, standing proudly in front of a large, ornate lantern slide projector. The soldiers, clad in their distinctive uniforms, exude a sense of discipline and camaraderie. The lantern slide projector, a common tool for presentations and instruction during this era, suggests that these soldiers were likely preparing for a briefing or training session. The photograph, with its warm, sepia tones, evokes the nostalgia and romance of a bygone era. The soldiers, often referred to as 'tommies' or 'tommies' in popular culture, were the backbone of the British military during the late Victorian period and the early years of World War I. This image offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of these unsung heroes, who played a crucial role in the logistical support of the British Army. The Commissariat and Transport Corps, with its rich history and tradition, is an intriguing and often overlooked aspect of military history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role these soldiers played in ensuring the success of the British military during the Victorian period and beyond.
