EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures a significant moment in history during the late 19th century. Taken by an English photographer, it showcases the departure of troops from various locations to support the Cape during the Transvaal Crisis. The image is part of a private collection and was originally published in The Illustrated London News on October 14,1899. The scene depicts Major A. J. Abdy commanding mounted infantry as they are inspected before their departure. Alongside them stands Captain McMicking, representing the military's dedication and readiness for action. This photograph offers a glimpse into the preparations made by soldiers involved in the Second Boer War. Notable figures such as Major General Marshall and Colonel Alderson can also be seen overseeing this crucial operation. From Bombay (now Mumbai) to Durban, troops from different regions were drafted to form an impressive force ready to face challenges in South Africa. This image not only highlights key individuals but also emphasizes unity among diverse groups, including Indian soldiers who played a vital role in supporting British forces during this conflict. Preserved through photography, this historic moment serves as a reminder of past struggles and sacrifices made by those involved in protecting their nations' interests.
