EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we are transported back to the heart of World War One. The image captures a group of Royal Marines diligently preparing a meal amidst the earthwork defences and bomb proof shelters on the Lierre Road, just two miles away from the crucial city of Antwerp. Circa October 1914. The soldiers, dressed in their distinguished naval uniforms, showcase their resilience and resourcefulness as they cook up sustenance for themselves during these challenging times. With corned beef tins laid out beside them, they skillfully tend to a stove that emanates warmth against the backdrop of an unforgiving war-torn landscape. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into not only their daily struggle but also serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication towards protecting Antwerp at all costs. As they nourish themselves with humble rations, it is evident that camaraderie and determination fuel their spirits even in such dire circumstances. Published by Tom Grant in the Daily Mirror on October 12th, 1914, this print encapsulates both the harsh realities faced by soldiers during conflict and their ability to find solace even within simple acts like cooking together. It stands as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and bravery exhibited by those who fought valiantly during one of history's darkest chapters - World War One.
