EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern yet determined gaze of Lieutenant Colonel Victor Cadifor Hilditch, a distinguished British army officer who served with great distinction during the First World War. Hilditch, who was awarded both the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) and the Military Cross (MC) for his bravery and leadership, is seen here in his full uniform as an officer in the Royal Field Artillery. The image, which dates from the period of 1914 to 1918, conveys the sense of gravity and importance of the role that Hilditch and his comrades played in the world-changing events of that time. The uniform itself, with its intricate details and insignia, is a testament to the military tradition and discipline that characterized the British army during the Great War. The field artillery, a crucial component of the British military machine, played a vital role in providing covering fire and support for advancing infantry units. Hilditch's leadership and strategic acumen would have been essential in directing the fire of his artillery batteries in the heat of battle. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the world of the First World War soldier, and the sacrifices and heroism that defined that era.
