EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, showcasing Australian soldiers at the Union Jack Club on Waterloo Road in Lambeth. Established in 1907 as a haven for servicemen visiting London, this iconic club played a vital role during both world wars. The photograph was commissioned by Orient Line, also known as the Orient Steam Navigation Company. Taken in 1915 by Adolph Augustus Boucher of Bedford Lemere, this image showcases the original building that stood proudly before being replaced with a new structure at the junction of Waterloo Road and Sandell Street. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers who fought for their country during World War I. The presence of Australian troops highlights the Commonwealth's contribution to the war effort and symbolizes unity among nations against a common enemy. Their stoic expressions reflect their dedication and determination amidst challenging times. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, let us remember those who served selflessly to protect our freedom. This photograph not only immortalizes an important chapter in military history but also pays tribute to all servicemen who have sacrificed so much for their countries around the world.
