EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment on Flag Day, Lemon Street, Truro, Cornwall, dated 18th October 1916. The image showcases the heartwarming encounter between a lady and a soldier amidst the backdrop of historical buildings. The soldier in focus is identified as Sergeant Reginald Grant Jordan from the esteemed 14th (County of London) Battalion, London Scottish Regiment. Adorned in his military uniform jacket with a distinct "Wound Stripe" on his cuff, he stands tall next to the elegant lady who exudes grace and compassion. Taken outside their family home at Banff House on Lemon Street, this photograph holds immense sentimental value for Arthur William Jordan's family. As an accomplished printer and photographer himself, Arthur skillfully captured this precious moment that would forever be etched in history. Intriguingly enough, two neighboring houses at numbers 53 and 54 Lemon Street can be seen peeking through behind them. These architectural gems add depth to the composition while symbolizing resilience amidst wartime challenges. The soldier's attire is particularly noteworthy; wearing a traditional cap along with a kilt that proudly represents his Scottish heritage. Completing his ensemble is an intricately designed dagger or dirk tucked into his belt—a testament to both practicality and tradition. This remarkable snapshot offers us glimpses into life during World War I—showcasing not only the bravery of soldiers like Sergeant Reginald Grant Jordan but also highlighting the unwavering
