Arras Bench Bodies Brother Casualty Edgar Found Four Golf Llandudno Second Week Whit Years
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the carefree moment of four men enjoying a leisurely afternoon at a golf club in Llandudno during Whit Week in 1913. The second man from the left, with a thoughtful expression, is identified as the photographer's brother, Edgar. Sadly, just four short years after this image was taken, Edgar would become a casualty of World War I. His name is immortalized on the Arras Memorial in France, honoring those brave soldiers whose bodies were never found. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the joyous scene it portrays but also in the poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the impact of war. The men, dressed in their golfing attire, seem oblivious to the looming darkness that would soon engulf the world. This image offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time of innocence and happiness that was soon to be shattered by the horrors of war. The photograph is believed to have been taken at a golf club in Llandudno during Whit Week in 1913. The second man from the left is identified as the photographer's brother, Edgar, who tragically became a WW1 casualty just 4 years later. His name is on the Arras Memorial for those whose bodies were never found.
