EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of determination and resolve among the men of the Nottinghamshire and Derby Regiment as they advance over captured territory during the First World War. Dated 1917, this image is taken from an album of 76 official photographs that chronicle the regiment's experiences on the Western Front between 1916 and 1917. In August 1914, the Sherwood Foresters, also known as the Nottinghamshire and Derby Regiment, consisted of eight battalions. However, as the war progressed, the regiment expanded significantly, with 33 battalions serving overseas. Over 140,000 men from the counties of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire enlisted in the regiment during this time. The regiment's bravery and sacrifice during the war are encapsulated in this powerful image. The men, dressed in their military uniforms and carrying their equipment, march forward with purpose and focus, their faces set with determination. The terrain they traverse is barren and desolate, a reminder of the harsh conditions they faced on the Western Front. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men of the Nottinghamshire and Derby Regiment during the First World War. It is a testament to their courage and resilience in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the important role they played in shaping the course of history during this pivotal time in human history.
