EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back in time to a significant moment just months before the outbreak of World War I. The image showcases soldiers gathered in Truro, Cornwall on the 26th of April, 1914. At its center stands Brigadier General T. C. Porter, an authoritative figure inspecting the National Reserves. The composition exudes a sense of anticipation and readiness as these men prepare for what lies ahead. Their uniforms are immaculate, their expressions determined yet tinged with apprehension. It is impossible to ignore the weight that history would soon place upon their shoulders. Photographer Arthur William Jordan masterfully captures this poignant scene, freezing it forever within his lens. His skillful eye brings forth every detail - from the intricate folds of each uniform to the subtle signs of camaraderie among these brave individuals. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we cannot help but feel a profound connection with those who lived through such tumultuous times. This image serves as both a reminder and tribute to all those who served during World War I – known as "The Great War". It invites us to reflect on their sacrifice and bravery while reminding us never to forget our shared history
