EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity of the War in South Africa during the early 20th century. Taken by an English photographer, this print showcases a naval brigade led by Colonel Douglas as they serve in the South African military. The image portrays gallantry and determination as Captain Pomeroy Holland Pryor stands alongside distinguished officers from the Royal Navy. The scene depicts a significant moment during the Second Boer War, where Lieutenant Balfour Macnaghten of the Royal Engineers leads his 9th Brigade into battle on February 19th. Fighting takes place on Monte Cristo Hill, with troops from various regiments including the 13th Bengal Lancers and Indian transport units under Captain E. P. Jones. Commanding forces in Natal, Colonel W. F. N Noel of Bullers Force confronts enemy soldiers at Magersfontein. This powerful confrontation symbolizes the clash between two opposing sides engaged in fierce combat. The photograph not only highlights bravery but also emphasizes unity among different branches of armed forces - navy and army - working together to fight against a common enemy. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men who fought for their country during times of conflict. This historical image is part of a private collection that preserves important moments captured through photography during this tumultuous period in South Africa's history.
