EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative aerial photograph from The John Barrett Collection, taken in 1902, the people of Hereford, Herefordshire, celebrate the end of the Second Boer War with a grand parade through the streets of their historic town. The image captures the jubilant atmosphere as military personnel and civilians alike come together to mark the end of the costly and protracted conflict that had begun in 1899. The parade makes its way through the town, with the crowd gathered on the steps of the platform, eagerly watching the procession. Soldiers in their smart military uniforms, standing at attention, lead the way, followed by a variety of bands, floats, and other participants. The joyous scene is a testament to the relief and pride felt by the community, as they come together to honor the sacrifices made during the war and welcome the returning heroes. Hereford, with its picturesque architecture and winding streets, provides a fitting backdrop for this celebration. The aerial perspective offers a unique and captivating view of the event, allowing us to appreciate the scale and excitement of the moment. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a time when the people of Hereford came together to celebrate the end of a long-awaited conflict and the return of peace.
