EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the DCLI Recruiting march that took place on 2nd July 1915 in Perranarworthal, Cornwall. The image showcases a group of officers patiently waiting on the road near the Norway Inn, their uniforms immaculate and their expressions filled with determination. As they stand amidst the picturesque Cornish countryside, it is evident that this recruiting march held great importance during World War One. Photographed by Arthur William Jordan, an artist who skillfully captured moments of historical significance, this image serves as a powerful reminder of the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought for their country during the Great War. The composition beautifully highlights both the natural beauty of Cornwall and the solemnity of war. The 3rd Duke of Cornwall's Light Infantry played a crucial role in recruiting soldiers to join them in battle. This photograph immortalizes one such recruitment event where officers gathered to inspire young men to enlist in defense of their nation. It stands as a testament to unity and patriotism within local communities during times of turmoil. Preserved at Royal Cornwall Museum, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who served selflessly for future generations' freedom.
