EDITORS COMMENTS
Anthony Frederick Wilding: From Wimbledon Lawns to the Battlefield This evocative photograph captures the enigmatic figure of Anthony Frederick Wilding, a New Zealand-born tennis champion, as he drives an armored car at Dunkirk in 1915. Wilding, who dominated men's tennis from 1910 to 1913 with a total of four Wimbledon titles, is seen here in an unexpected role, bound for the front lines of the First World War. The image presents a striking contrast between Wilding's past achievements in sports and his impending involvement in the brutal realities of war. The armored car, with its trailer attached, is a testament to the logistical demands of military operations. The rugged terrain and ominous clouds in the background hint at the challenges and dangers that lay ahead. Despite his success on the tennis court, Wilding felt compelled to answer the call to duty. He enlisted in the British Army in 1914 and was assigned to the 2nd New Zealand Field Artillery Brigade. Tragically, Wilding met his end near Neuve Chapelle, France, on 9 May 1915 during the Battle of Aubers Ridge. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the many sporting personalities who left their mark on history not only through their athletic prowess but also through their courage and sacrifice during times of war. Wilding's legacy as a tennis champion endures, but his heroism on the battlefield adds another layer to the rich tapestry of his life story.
