Truro railway station, Cornwall. 2nd December 1917 - A Glimpse into History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous occasion in Truro's past during the tumultuous times of World War One. On the chilly winter day of December 2nd, 1917, Truro Railway Station became the center stage for an extraordinary event - the arrival of esteemed army chiefs ahead of an inspection. Assembled at this very spot were the valiant Cornish volunteer regiments, ready to showcase their unwavering dedication and bravery. The combined parade was a testament to Cornwall's indomitable spirit and its contribution to the war effort. Standing tall on the far right is Colonel John Jeffery, a distinguished figure from Truro who would later become known as AJ Lyne's grandfather. His presence exudes authority and leadership as he oversees preparations for this significant gathering. Photographer Arthur William Jordan skillfully captured this historic moment with his lens, freezing it in time for future generations to admire and reflect upon. Through his artistry, we are transported back over a century ago when our ancestors fought tirelessly for freedom amidst global turmoil. This remarkable photograph serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and resilience during one of humanity's darkest periods. Preserved by Royal Cornwall Museum, it stands not only as an artifact but also as a symbol of remembrance for all those who served in World War One – their courage forever etched into history's tapestry.
