EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a detachment of the South African Railway Pioneer Regiment during the Second Boer War. The image, taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, showcases a wayside meal being enjoyed by these military men commanded by Captain Black. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of Cape Railways and Orange River in South Africa. The regiment was raised to assist with railway construction and maintenance during the war, under the guidance of Major Capper from the Royal Engineers Corps. In this particular moment frozen in time, officers can be seen engaging in sentry duty while others gather at their camp's mess for a meal. Colonel Gough stands tall as he oversees his troops' activities. The photograph not only provides us with a glimpse into this historical period but also highlights the process of formation that took place within this regiment. It serves as a testament to their dedication and resilience amidst challenging circumstances. Preserved within a private collection, this image offers viewers an opportunity to delve into South Africa's rich military history through photography.
