Declared Formally Shortly Signed Territorial Westminster Yard


EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures the moment of historical significance as soldiers of the Territorial Force eagerly sign up for duty in Deans Yard, Westminster, on August 7, 1914, only three days after the formal declaration of war by Sir Edward Grey on August 4th. The importance of this image lies in its depiction of the mass mobilization of volunteers in response to the outbreak of World War I. With war officially declared on August 4th, the call to arms resonated deeply with the British public, and the Territorial Force, a part-time military reserve, saw a surge in enlistments as men answered the call to defend their country. The scene in Deans Yard is a testament to the patriotism and determination of the British people during this pivotal moment in history. The image, signed by Sir Edward Grey on December 4, 1921, is an invaluable historical document that provides a glimpse into the early days of the war effort and the sacrifices made by ordinary citizens in the name of duty and country." This photograph, taken in the picturesque setting of Deans Yard in Westminster, shows a group of 21 soldiers, each focused intently on the paper before them as they sign their enlistment forms. The image, which is part of the Illustrated London News collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the British people during the early days of World War I. The formal declaration of war by Sir Edward Grey on August 4, 1814, marked the beginning of a long and arduous conflict that would test the mettle of the British military and the resolve of the British people. This photograph, taken just a few days later, is a testament to the spirit of sacrifice and duty that defined the British response to the war.
