EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment during the Second Boer War in South Africa. Titled "With General French: New Zealanders Saving a Picket of the Yorkshire Regiment near Slingersfontein on January 15,1900" it showcases the bravery and camaraderie between soldiers from different parts of the British Empire. In this image, we see a group of New Zealand soldiers rushing to assist their comrades from the Yorkshire Regiment who are under attack on a hilltop battlefield. The intensity of the fighting is evident on their faces as they face off against an unseen enemy. The photograph beautifully portrays the concept of assistance and saving lives amidst war. Taken by John Denton Pinkstone French, later known as Field Marshal Earl of Ypres, this picture provides a glimpse into one small episode within this larger conflict that lasted from 1899 to 1902. It highlights not only the military action but also explores themes such as courage, sacrifice, and loyalty. This historical document is part of Louis Creswicke's book "South Africa and the Transvaal War" published in Edinburgh in 1900. Preserved by The Print Collector, it serves as a reminder of an era when nations fought for power and control over territories while individuals faced life-threatening situations with unwavering determination.
