EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of officers from the Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) during their deployment in Silesia, Poland, in 1921. The officers are seen posing with a Lewis Gun, a type of air-cooled, belt-fed machine gun that was widely used by the British military during the First World War and the interwar period. The Leinster Regiment, which was part of the British Army's 55th (West Lancashire) Division, was sent to Poland to help maintain order in the region following the end of the Polish-Soviet War. The officers in the photograph exude a sense of confidence and professionalism, dressed in their uniforms and holding their weapons with pride. The image is part of an album of 58 photographs associated with the Leinster Regiment, providing a unique insight into the regiment's activities during this period. The album, which dates from 1921, offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these soldiers and their experiences in a foreign land. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of the Leinster Regiment (Royal Canadians) and the important role they played in maintaining peace and stability in the aftermath of a major conflict.
