In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1900, amidst the tumultuous Boer War in South Africa. The image showcases a remarkable scene of army advancement as buffalos diligently pull carts laden with essential supplies across the Zand River. Accompanied by artillery units, this formidable convoy is part of Lord Roberts' relentless push towards Pretoria. The composition exudes a sense of strength and resilience as these magnificent animals navigate through the rugged terrain. Their unwavering determination mirrors that of the soldiers who fought alongside them during this historic conflict. The stark contrast between light and shadow adds depth to the photograph, emphasizing both the harshness of war and the beauty inherent in such an arduous journey. This extraordinary snapshot from Hulton Archive reminds us of not only the bravery displayed by humans but also highlights how animals played an integral role in military operations during times of war. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is shaped not only by human actions but also by our symbiotic relationship with nature.
