EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of history during the First World War, as Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, a prominent British army officer, conducts an inspection of the Australian Infantry of the 5th Division at Ebblinghem, northern France, on August 29, 1917. The scene is set against the backdrop of a vast, open field, dotted with horses and their riders from the British Cavalry, adding to the grandeur and scale of the event. The Australian soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with rifles, stand at attention, their expressions a mix of determination and apprehension as they await the inspection. Sir Douglas Haig, a key figure in the British military effort during the war, rides towards them on horseback, his presence radiating authority and command. The 5th Australian Division, consisting of troops from various Australian states, played a significant role in the Battle of Polygon Wood and the Second Battle of Passchendaele, among other engagements. This inspection likely served as an opportunity for Sir Douglas Haig to assess the readiness and morale of the troops, as they prepared for the next phase of the war. The photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and routines of the soldiers during this pivotal period in world history. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the Australian and British armies during the First World War.
