EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Capture of Benin - Military Tournament," is a fascinating glimpse into the historical records of the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment during their time in Africa between 1893 and 1897. The image is one of 174 photographs compiled in an album by Major N Burrows, offering a unique and personal perspective of this significant period in military history. The photograph captures a lively scene of a military tournament in Benin, a region in present-day Nigeria. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and camaraderie as soldiers from the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment engage in various activities, showcasing their strength, agility, and skill. The men are dressed in their full military regalia, adding to the grandeur and importance of the event. The year is 1893, a time when European powers were expanding their colonial empires in Africa, and the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment was an integral part of the British military presence in the region. The tournament, likely held to boost morale and maintain discipline among the troops, served as a reminder of the regiment's loyalty and commitment to the British crown. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, offering us a glimpse into the daily lives and experiences of the soldiers who served in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment during this era. The image is a testament to the rich history and tradition of the regiment, and a reminder of the important role it played in shaping the world as we know it today.
