EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of solemn ceremony and military precision as Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, one of the most prominent British army officers of the First World War, reviews the ranks of the 5th Australian Division at Ebblinghem, northern France, in August 1917. Haig, dressed in full military regalia, sits atop his horse, surveying the disciplined lines of soldiers, a mix of infantry and cavalry, with an air of authority and determination. The Australian troops, many of whom were part of the ANZAC forces, stand at attention, their rifles slung over their shoulders and bayonets fixed, as they await the inspection. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rolling French countryside, with the Union Jack and Australian flags fluttering in the breeze. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the camaraderie, discipline, and sacrifice that defined the Great War experience for soldiers from all corners of the globe. This photograph, taken by Robert Hunt for the Imperial War Museum, is a testament to the indelible mark left by the First World War on the annals of history.
