Step back into the heart of conflict with this gripping black and white film from 1900! Witness a mixed company of Gordon Highlanders, Irish Fusilliers, and English Lancers as they are taken prisoner by a troop of Boer Cavalry. The expressions on their faces reveal the stark contrast between victor and vanquished, with the dust and smoke-begrimed countenances of the prisoners telling the tale of their valiant resistance before surrender. Meanwhile, the Boers exude triumph, cheering and waving their hats in jubilation as they pass by. Don't miss this poignant portrayal of the human cost of war and the triumph of the victors.
