EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a poignant moment in history during World War I. Titled "Soldiers of the Wiltshire Rifles boarding a train, Cape Town, South Africa" the image showcases a group of British soldiers preparing to embark on their journey to East Africa. Taken in 1915 by Realistic Travels Publishers, this photograph is part of a collection titled The Great War. In the picture, men dressed in military uniforms can be seen standing near a railway carriage compartment. Their faces reflect determination and resolve as they prepare for what lies ahead. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers who left their homes behind to fight for their country. The context surrounding this particular event adds depth to its significance.
