EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Volunteer Types a Hundred Years Ago" takes us back in time to the year 1798, offering a fascinating glimpse into the diverse array of volunteer groups that existed during that era. The engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on July 8,1899. The image showcases various volunteer associations from different parts of England such as Carisbrooke Castle, Bethnal Green Light Infantry, Queenhithe Ward, St. Mary Brentford Association, Minories, Isle of Wight Corps and many more. These associations were formed for military purposes and played important roles in their respective communities. Intriguingly detailed with banners proudly displayed and uniforms meticulously worn by these volunteers - men who dedicated themselves to protect their towns and cities - this engraving offers us an insight into the rich history of these local defense forces.

Their commitment is evident as they stand united under the banner of unity and service.
