EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide depicts a joyous celebration at Charterhouse School in Godalming, Surrey, marking the relief of Mafeking during the Boer War in 1900. The image captures the excitement and relief felt by the pupils as they commemorate this significant event in British history. Established by Baden-Powell, the renowned founder of the Scout Movement, Charterhouse School was known for its strong sense of discipline and tradition. The boys in this photograph, dressed in their school uniforms, are seen raising their hats in a triumphant salute, their faces radiant with pride and happiness. The relief of Mafeking, a major victory for the British forces against the Boer Republics, brought hope and jubilation to the British public, and this celebration at Charterhouse School is a testament to the spirit of unity and patriotism that permeated the country during this time. This lantern slide is part of a collection of 243 images, primarily relating to the Boer War, sourced from reputable publications such as the Illustrated London News and The Sphere. The meticulously preserved slide offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to a pivotal moment in history. The image not only serves as a historical record but also as a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of resilience and camaraderie that characterized the British people during the Boer War.
