EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment in history, as troops from the renowned 17th/21st Lancers bid farewell to their loved ones. The troopship Nevasa stands tall at Southampton's bustling port, ready to embark on a journey that would forever change the lives of these brave soldiers. Taken in the 1930s, this monochrome image exudes an air of nostalgia and resilience.

With Europe on the brink of war, they prepared themselves for what lay ahead. The Empress of Indias looms majestically beside Nevasa, serving as a reminder of Britain's colonial past. This juxtaposition highlights both the grandeur and gravity surrounding this departure. As families gather to say goodbye amidst tearful farewells and heartfelt embraces, emotions run high.
