EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, titled "The 24th South Wales Borderers" by Walter Richards, captures the essence of Her Majesty's Army during the late Victorian era. The image, taken in 1888, showcases the 24th South Wales Borderers, a distinguished infantry regiment with a rich history. The soldiers are depicted standing at attention, each one a picture of discipline and readiness. Richards' composition expertly highlights the intricacies of the soldiers' uniforms. The red jackets, adorned with various insignia and buttons, gleam under the studio lights. Each soldier wears a helmet, a necessary piece of equipment for protection on the battlefield. At their feet, the soldiers' rifles, the Boxer Model Lee-Metford, are at the ready. The soldiers' expressions are serious and focused, a testament to their dedication and discipline. The regiment's name, "24th South Wales Borderers," is emblazoned on a wooden box at the bottom of the photograph, adding a sense of order and organization to the scene. This photograph, taken in the 1880s, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices and commitment of the soldiers who served in Her Majesty's Army during the late Victorian era. Walter Richards' masterful use of lighting and composition brings the image to life, allowing us to connect with these soldiers and their story over a century later.
