EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Dr. Arthur Winnington-Ingram, the Bishop of London, is seen in full uniform of the Chaplain to the London Rifle Brigade, declaring his intention to accompany the battalion into the field during the early days of World War I. Dated August 1914, this image captures a pivotal moment in the history of both the Church of England and the British military. Born on March 21, 1858, Winnington-Ingram had already made a name for himself as a prominent religious figure and a dedicated public servant. However, when the call to arms came, he did not hesitate to answer. As the Chaplain to the London Rifle Brigade, he was responsible for the spiritual well-being of the soldiers under his care. But his commitment went beyond the spiritual, as he felt a deep sense of duty to serve alongside his flock in the trenches. The photograph shows the Bishop in a serious and determined pose, his eyes fixed on the horizon, and his expression conveying a sense of resolve. He is dressed in the full uniform of the London Rifle Brigade Chaplain, complete with a cross on his chest and a rifle slung over his shoulder. The image is a powerful reminder of the deep connection between the Church and the military during times of war, and the sacrifices made by religious leaders to support their communities. The backdrop of August 1914 was a time of great uncertainty and fear, as the full scale of the conflict in Europe became apparent. The decision of the Bishop of London to join his soldiers in the field was a bold and inspiring one, and it would go down in history as a testament to his leadership and dedication to his flock. This photograph is a poignant reminder of that moment in history, and a reminder of the sacrifices made by religious leaders during times of war.
