EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from 1915, three well-known personalities from the world of art, stage, and sport are depicted in their military uniforms as members of the Artists Rifles, a distinguished Officers' Training Corps (OTC) in the British Army during World War I. From left to right, we see Mr. Horace Pollock, an impresario who played a pivotal role in introducing the works of Sir Arthur Pinero to the Variety stage. His contributions to the British theatre scene were significant, and his influence extended beyond the confines of the theatre, making him a respected figure in the arts community. Next to him stands Mr. Harold Pearce, a renowned actor who graced the stages of London's West End and beyond. His talent and dedication to his craft earned him critical acclaim and a loyal fan base. Lastly, we have Mr. D.J. Knight, a crack cricketer who excelled in the sport both at Oxford and Corinthian levels. His athletic prowess and passion for cricket made him a beloved figure in the sporting world. The trio's shared commitment to their respective fields and their decision to serve their country during wartime underscores the spirit of duty, patriotism, and resilience that defined the era. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the many individuals who answered the call to serve their country during the First World War, blending their professional lives with their military duties. This image offers a glimpse into the lives of these three extraordinary individuals and the unique historical context in which they lived. It is a testament to their multifaceted identities and their unwavering dedication to their passions, both on and off the battlefield.
