Photograph of members of the Singapore Volunteer Artillery

This photograph captures members of the Singapore Volunteer Artillery (SVA), founded in 1888 to bolster Singapore’s security following civil unrest. Initially composed of European residents, the SVA reflects the racial segregation of the time. This image likely commemorates the SVA’s victory in the Warren Football Challenge Shield in 1894.
