EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for two weary soldiers of the 1st Battalion Middlesex Regiment during their service in the Korean War (1950-1953). The image is taken from an album of 126 photographs and newspaper cuttings, providing a personal record of their experiences in Asia. Dated 1951, the photograph shows the soldiers squatting by the side of a well, drawing water with their canteens. Their faces are etched with the fatigue and hardship of the battlefield, yet they share a brief moment of camaraderie and relief from the harsh conditions. The soldiers are identified as members of the Duke of Own's regiment, a British Army infantry regiment with a rich history that can be traced back to 1755. The album, along with the newspaper cuttings, offers a glimpse into the daily lives and challenges faced by these soldiers during their tour of duty in Korea. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the military personnel during the conflict and the enduring bonds formed in the crucible of war.
