EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Mahatma Gandhi alongside the Indian Ambulance Corps during the Boer War in South Africa. Taken by an English photographer in the early 20th century, this image provides a glimpse into Gandhi's lesser-known role as a member of this corps. In this portrait, we see Gandhi standing proudly among his comrades, donning a British army uniform complete with a red cross armband. His distinctive moustache and beard add to his charismatic presence, while his hat adds an air of authority. The group stands united, their expressions reflecting determination and resilience amidst the challenges of war. Mahatma Gandhi's involvement with the Indian Ambulance Corps during this conflict sheds light on his multifaceted character beyond being solely known as a political and spiritual leader of India's independence movement. This photo serves as a reminder that even before he became revered for his nonviolent resistance against colonial rule, he actively contributed to humanitarian efforts on foreign soil. Preserved within eArchives Charmet and made available by Bridgeman Images, this remarkable print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance of Gandhi's participation in the Boer War and the artistic value captured by its anonymous photographer. It is through such images that we gain deeper insights into influential figures like Mahatma Gandhi who shaped our world through their actions both big and small.
