EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of patriotism and unity during the First World War as a Military Parade makes its way along West Street in Reigate, Surrey. Dated between 1914 and 1918, the image showcases a vibrant procession of soldiers, horses, and various signs of local businesses lining the street. The Soldiers, proudly dressed in their military uniforms, march in formation with determined expressions, while their horses prance alongside them, their hooves pounding against the pavement. The crowd of spectators on the side of the road, many of whom are dressed in their Sunday best, eagerly watch the parade with a sense of pride and support for their country's armed forces. The shops and signs along West Street add to the scene's charm, with the Charlwood sign prominently displayed, and the Stockwell bus making a brief appearance in the background. The 160 bus, a common mode of transportation during the era, adds a sense of normalcy amidst the wartime atmosphere. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the community spirit that emerged during the First World War, as people came together to support their country and its soldiers. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a moment in history that continues to resonate with us today.
