EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1915 showcases the DCLI Military Band in Wendron, Cornwall during a significant moment in history. The band members, dressed impeccably in their uniforms, are captured just as they are about to commence or have recently concluded a march outside what is believed to be the Travellers Comfort Inn, possibly at Farms Common. This particular event was likely part of a larger recruiting drive aimed at bolstering forces for World War One. The image evokes a sense of pride and patriotism as these brave musicians prepare to inspire and rally support for the war effort. Their instruments gleam under the sunlight, reflecting their unwavering dedication to duty and service. Although the photographer remains unknown, this snapshot has managed to preserve an invaluable piece of Cornish heritage. Amidst the backdrop of this quaint public house lies an unspoken story that resonates with both locals and historians alike. It serves as a poignant reminder of how communities across Cornwall rallied together during times of conflict, united by their shared determination and resilience. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, it transports us back in time; allowing us to appreciate the sacrifices made by those who came before us. It stands as a testament not only to the bravery displayed by these musicians but also honors all those who served valiantly during World War One – forever etching their names into history's annals.
