EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the tumultuous era of World War I. The image showcases the Cunard Shell Works concert party, known as The High Explosives, dressed in elaborate costumes for an eagerly anticipated show. In 1915, the Cunard Steamship Co store and engineering works at Rimrose Road, Bootle underwent a transformation into a munitions factory to support the war effort. This particular section of the factory was responsible for finishing, checking, and varnishing projectile heads before they were transported to another nearby facility to be filled with explosive materials. Taken by renowned photographer H Bedford Lemere in 1917, this photograph offers us a glimpse into both leisure and work activities amidst the chaos of war. It serves as a poignant reminder that even during times of great adversity, people found solace and joy through entertainment. The image carries historical significance beyond its aesthetic appeal. It symbolizes the resilience and determination of those who worked tirelessly behind-the-scenes to ensure victory on the front lines. As we reflect upon this snapshot from our past, let us remember not only their contributions but also their unwavering spirit in finding moments of respite amidst challenging circumstances.
