EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Royal Cornwall Museum takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence of Camborne Railway Station in Cornwall during the early 1900s. The scene is believed to have been taken during the First World War, as it showcases a group of smartly dressed cadets standing on the platform. Their military uniforms proudly display their allegiance and dedication to serving their country. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into daily life at this bustling railway station. The distinctive Cornish architecture of the station building stands tall in the background, reflecting its rich heritage and importance within the local community. Adjacent to it are rows of vintage railway carriages, evoking nostalgia for an era when train travel was both elegant and adventurous. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but wonder about these young cadets' stories: what were they preparing for? Were they bidding farewell to loved ones or embarking on an exciting journey themselves? While many details remain unknown about this photograph's origins and photographer, one thing is certain – it encapsulates a moment that resonates with history enthusiasts and those curious about Cornwall's past. This remarkable image serves as a reminder of how railways played an integral role in connecting communities during times of war and peace alike
