EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of determination and patriotism that swept through London at the onset of the First World War in 1914. The image depicts a crowded scene at a Home Guard call-up, with men of all ages and backgrounds eagerly queuing to enlist and do their part for their country. The Home Guard, also known as the Local Defence Volunteers, was a civilian military force raised in response to the threat of invasion by Germany. As regular army units were being deployed to the front lines, it was feared that the capital city and other strategic locations would be vulnerable to attack. The Home Guard was intended to provide a last line of defence, and the call to arms saw an outpouring of volunteers from all walks of life. The photograph shows the orderly chaos of the enlistment process, with men standing in line, filling out forms, and receiving instructions from uniformed officers. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and purpose, as men put aside their daily concerns to answer the call to duty. The sense of history in the making is palpable, as these ordinary citizens prepare to become soldiers in the service of their king and country. This powerful image is a testament to the courage and resilience of the British people during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by ordinary men and women during the First World War, and the enduring spirit of defence and service that continues to define the UK to this day.
