EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sketches from South Africa, Graves of those who fell in the Attack on Sekukunis Stronghold" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist during the 19th century, this print captures the aftermath of a fierce battle that occurred in Limpopo, South Africa. The scene is solemn and poignant as we witness rows upon rows of graves marking the final resting place of fallen soldiers. The memorial serves as a powerful reminder of their sacrifice and bravery during the attack on Sekukunis Stronghold. Each grave represents a life lost and tells a story untold. Amongst these brave souls lie Private Chipps, Captain Macaulay, Private Donovan, Captain Laurell, Private Weston, Corp Mitchell, Corp McNully - names etched into history forever. These men belonged to various regiments such as the 21st Regiment and Transvaal Mounted Infantry. Published in The Graphic on February 28th, 1880; this illustration provides viewers with an insight into the news item that shook nations at that time. It allows us to reflect upon the human cost of war and appreciate those who fought valiantly for their cause. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts through Fine Art Finder platform; we can still admire this historical artwork today. Let it serve as a testament to honor those who made sacrifices for our freedom and remind us never to forget their courage and dedication.
