EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Universal Images Group (UIG) takes us back to a significant moment in history during the 2nd Boer War. The image captures a dramatic scene as the Picket of 13th Hussars, a small British cavalry unit, finds themselves surprised near the Tugela River on what is now known as Hussar Hill. The composition is filled with tension and action, showcasing the bravery and determination of these soldiers amidst the chaos of war. The African landscape serves as a backdrop, highlighting both the beauty and challenges faced by colonial powers during this era of imperialism. Intriguingly, this photograph also sheds light on technological advancements at that time. As we examine closely, we can see puffs of smokeless powder rising from their arms - an innovation that marked a shift away from traditional black powder weaponry. As we reflect upon this historical moment frozen in time, it reminds us of the complexities surrounding colonialism and its impact on different regions around the world. This image invites us to delve deeper into understanding not only military strategies but also social dynamics prevalent during this period
