EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the Field of Remembrance at St Margaret's Church, Westminster, London, circa 1955. The Field of Remembrance is a unique and moving tribute to those who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The image shows a sea of crosses, each one planted in memory of an individual, stretching out before the church. The crosses, adorned with poppies and other flowers, represent the countless lives that were tragically cut short during these global conflicts. The scene is one of quiet reflection and solemnity, with the sun casting a gentle light over the field. The church, with its tall spire and ornate architecture, stands as a symbol of hope and resilience in the face of war. The 1950s, a decade marked by the aftermath of World War II and the onset of the Cold War, saw the Field of Remembrance continue to be an important commemoration for those who had been lost. The planting of the crosses was a communal act of remembrance and healing, bringing together families, friends, and the wider community to pay their respects. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during these wars and the enduring impact they had on individuals and communities. The Field of Remembrance at St Margaret's Church remains a significant and moving tribute to this day, providing a space for reflection and remembrance for generations to come.
