EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the solemn beauty of the Shangani Memorial in Matobo, Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). The memorial stands tall and proud, a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of British soldiers who lost their lives during the First Matabele War on 4 December 1893.
The image transports us back to circa 1920, a time when colonialism was at its peak in Southern Africa. The memorial is surrounded by the rugged landscape of Matobo (Rhodes Matopos National Park), near Bulawayo, adding to its sense of isolation and significance.
As we gaze upon this historic monument, we are reminded of the harsh realities of war and death. The names of those brave soldiers who perished in battle are etched into our minds as we pay tribute to their courage and dedication.
The Shangani Memorial serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for empire and country. It stands as a symbol of remembrance for those who gave their lives so that others may live in peace.
This powerful image evokes emotions of respect, honor, and gratitude towards those who fought bravely on foreign soil. It is a timeless reminder that freedom comes at a cost – one that should never be forgotten or taken for granted.
