EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant studio photograph captures the image of a young man in uniform, identified as Private Clement Tunbridge, who served in the 1st South African Infantry during World War I. The photograph was taken in the year 1915, just a year before he tragically lost his life at Warlencourt, Somme, in northern France, on 18 October 1916. Private Tunbridge is seen standing tall and proud, wearing the distinctive peaked cap and uniform of the 1st South African Infantry. The backdrop of the photograph shows a painted camp scene with tents and other military paraphernalia, adding to the authenticity of the image. The young man in the photograph exudes a sense of determination and courage, reflecting the spirit of the many young men and women who answered the call to duty during the Great War. The badge on his cap bears the insignia of the South African Infantry, a testament to his commitment and loyalty to his country. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by Private Clement Tunbridge and countless others during the 1910s, a decade marked by the devastating impact of World War I. The photograph is a precious keepsake, preserving the memory of a young man who gave his all for his country, and a reminder of the human cost of war.
