EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the War Memorial and Gateshead Chamber of Commerce in Newcastle upon Tyne, as they stood proudly in the early 1920s. The memorial, dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Northumberland Fusiliers and other local regiments during World War I, is a poignant reminder of the great sacrifice made by the community during the conflict. The memorial, located in the heart of the city, is dominated by a magnificent angel sculpture, her outstretched wings reaching towards the heavens, holding a trumpet to her lips. The angel, a symbol of hope and consolation, stands atop a tall column, surrounded by intricate carvings and inscriptions. The Gateshead Chamber of Commerce building, located to the left of the memorial, is a grand edifice, its imposing facade a testament to the civic pride and prosperity of the region in the post-war era. The building, adorned with ornate details and large windows, is a striking contrast to the somber and solemn memorial. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures the essence of the era, with its unique blend of hope, resilience, and reflection. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen paying their respects at the memorial, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war. The image, from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a powerful and moving tribute to the past, a reminder of the courage and determination of those who lived through the Great War and the challenges of the post-war era. This photograph is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of Newcastle upon Tyne, the North East of England, or the First World War.
