All That Is Left of Them: The Survivors of the Original 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, 1919 This poignant photograph captures the surviving members of the 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, who had gone out to France with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) in 1914. The image bears witness to the immense sacrifice made by these soldiers during the First World War, with over 800 men from the battalion left buried in France. In the center of the photograph stands Major J.H. Alldridge, his solemn expression reflecting the gravity of the situation. To his left is RSM (Regimental Sergeant Major) Doulton, his stern gaze fixed on the camera, while to his right is RQMS (Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant) Watkins, his hand resting on the shoulder of a younger soldier. The 2nd Battalion, Rifle Brigade, was one of the first British units to arrive in France during the early days of the war. They fought valiantly in numerous battles, including the Battle of Le Cateau and the Battle of the Marne. However, the heavy losses they sustained during these engagements left a deep mark on the battalion's ranks. The photograph was taken in 1919, a few years after the end of the war, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers. The empty spaces in their ranks are a testament to the immense cost of war, and the solemn expression on their faces speaks volumes about the profound impact it had on their lives. This image offers a glimpse into the human cost of war, and serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served in the armed forces during the First World War. It is a poignant reminder of the debt we owe to those who gave their all in the name of freedom and democracy.
