EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic moment of the first convoy of ships leaving Albany, Western Australia, on 1 November 1914. The ships, filled with Australian and New Zealand troops, also known as Anzacs, were setting sail for Europe to join the fight on the Western Front of World War 1. The scene is one of great anticipation and determination, as the soldiers, many of whom were embarking on their first overseas journey, looked out at the vast expanse of water before them. The sky above is filled with ominous clouds, hinting at the challenges that lay ahead. The smoke from the ships' chimneys adds to the sense of motion and energy, as the vessels began their long journey across the sea. The Anzac troops, who would go on to make a significant impact on the war, were an integral part of the British Empire's military effort, and their departure from Albany marked the beginning of their involvement in the conflict. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Anzac soldiers and the important role Australia and New Zealand played in World War 1.
