EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Home Away From Home: Married Quarters in Bulford Army Camp during World War One, Wiltshire, England" This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the scene of the Married Quarters at Bulford Army Camp in the 1910s, during the tumultuous period of World War One. Located near the picturesque town of Amesbury in Wiltshire, England, Bulford Camp was one of the largest military installations in the United Kingdom, housing thousands of soldiers and their families. The image reveals a serene and orderly scene, with rows of red-brick houses neatly arranged, each with its own small garden. Soldiers and their wives, dressed in the fashion of the era, are seen milling about, engaging in everyday activities, creating a sense of community and normalcy amidst the chaos of war. The presence of children playing in the foreground adds a touch of innocence and hope, highlighting the resilience and determination of the families who endured the hardships of military life during this time. Bulford Army Camp was established in 1899, and during the First World War, it served as a major training ground for British soldiers. The Married Quarters were an essential part of the camp, providing accommodation for soldiers' wives and families. The camp's proximity to Salisbury Plain, with its vast expanses of open land, made it an ideal location for large-scale military exercises and training maneuvers. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily lives of soldiers and their families during the World War One era. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the military community during this time and the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy and family life amidst the challenges of war. This image is a testament to the rich history and heritage of Bulford Army Camp and the pivotal role it played in shaping the lives of countless soldiers and their families during the 1910s.
