EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured in 1916, we witness a profound moment in history as British troops gather at Victoria Station in London. Having enjoyed a brief respite from the horrors of war on leave, these brave soldiers now prepare themselves for their return to the front lines. Underneath the glow of streetlights, they form an intimate group – comrades bound by shared experiences and unspoken understanding. Conversations flow freely as they exchange stories and seek solace within each other's company. Some find comfort in a well-deserved rest, while others puff on cigarettes that momentarily alleviate their anxieties. The scene is filled with an air of anticipation and apprehension; it is evident that these warriors are acutely aware of the challenges awaiting them upon their return to battlefields soaked in bloodshed. Yet, amidst this sobering reality, there remains an unwavering determination etched onto their faces – a testament to their unwavering commitment towards defending freedom and justice. Uniforms adorned with pride, kits neatly packed alongside luggage bags and packages; every detail speaks volumes about these soldiers' dedication to duty.
