EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a special occasion in the historic town of Haverfordwest, South Wales, in the year 1904. The High Street and Castle Square area are filled with an air of excitement and reverence as a procession of dignitaries, led by military personnel in full uniform and top hats, make their way through the bustling crowd. The scene is reminiscent of an Edwardian tableau, with rows of policemen maintaining order and the townspeople standing respectfully to the side, dressed in their Sunday best. The occasion may have been the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to the brave soldiers from Haverfordshire who fought in the Boer War. The memorial, a testament to the town's proud military history, would have been a source of great pride for the community. The dignitaries, including local VIPs and military officers, would have gathered to pay their respects and honor the sacrifices made by these brave men. The atmosphere is one of solemnity and respect, with the crowd watching intently as the procession passes by. The policemen, dressed in their uniforms and bearing batons, maintain a watchful eye over the proceedings, ensuring that the day passes peacefully. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when community and tradition were at the heart of life in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, Dyfed. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a special day in the town's history, and a reminder of the importance of commemoration and remembrance.
