EDITORS COMMENTS
The Colonials First Great Chance, Colonel Pilcher's Clever Attack on Sunnyside Kopje". In this lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history - the daring attack on Sunnyside Kopje during the South African War. The print captures the intensity and bravery of Colonel Pilcher and his colonial troops as they seize their first major opportunity for victory. The composition is filled with action and movement, showcasing the rush of military forces led by Colonel Ricardo and supported by Royal Canadians and Royal Munsters. The topography of the landscape adds depth to the scene, highlighting both strategic positioning and challenges faced by these brave soldiers. As our eyes wander through this detailed engraving, we can almost feel the tension in the air. The main attack is accompanied by a clever flank movement executed flawlessly by Canadian troops under Major Denison. Their coordination with other units such as Queenslanders demonstrates international collaboration against a common enemy. The Boer laager stands defiantly atop Sunnyside Kopje, but it is clear that their position is now threatened. De Rougemont's guns fire relentlessly from below while colonials from Canada make their mark on South African soil. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of courage in adversity and unity across borders. It immortalizes an important chapter in history when colonials from North America joined forces with others to face formidable opponents thousands of miles away from home.
