This cartridge was carried by a member of the British South Africa Company who was involved in the Jameson Raid on Paul Krugers Transvaal Republic. The raid was led by Dr Leander Starr Jameson and his Rhodesian and Bechuanaland policemen over the New Year weekend of 1895-1896. It was intended to trigger an uprising by the primarily British expatriate workers (known as Uitlanders) in the Transvaal, but failed to do so. The cartridge was later used in evidence at the subsequent trial of the raiders in July 1896.); © National Army Museum

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a centre-fire revolver cartridge from the late 19th century, specifically around 1896. The undischarged . 320 inch cartridge is displayed against a dark background, highlighting its intricate details and historical significance. Housed in the National Army Museum in London, this artifact holds an intriguing story. The cartridge was carried by a member of the British South Africa Company during the infamous Jameson Raid on Paul Kruger's Transvaal Republic. Led by Dr Leander Starr Jameson and his Rhodesian and Bechuanaland policemen, this audacious raid took place over the New Year weekend of 1895-1896. Its aim was to incite an uprising among British expatriate workers residing in the Transvaal, known as Uitlanders. However, despite their efforts, the raid failed to spark rebellion. Later on, during the trial of these daring raiders in July 1896, this very cartridge served as crucial evidence. It stood as a testament to their involvement and shed light on their intentions. Through this powerful image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported back in time to witness not only an intricately designed piece of ammunition but also a significant moment in history that shaped relations between Britain and South Africa.
