EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history during the First World War. Taken by Bedford Lemere in September 1914, it showcases a fleet of taxis lined up outside the Automobile Association Company's head office at Fanum House in Westminster, London. Each car proudly displays a banner that reads "We are enlisting for the war" symbolizing the spirit of patriotism and unity that prevailed during those challenging times. The image also features a group of Road Scouts eagerly preparing to embark on their journey to enlist, while an enthusiastic crowd gathers around them, offering their support and cheering them on. This scene reflects the immense recruitment efforts undertaken on the home front during WW1. With its blend of propaganda and mobilization symbolism, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of how ordinary people played an integral role in shaping history. It encapsulates both the determination of individuals willing to sacrifice for their country and the collective strength found within communities united by a common cause. Preserved by Historic England, this remarkable snapshot offers us a glimpse into an era defined by resilience and solidarity.
