EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as members of the Officers Training Corps (OTC) at Oxford University receive instruction in the art of knot tying in 1915. The scene takes place within the tranquil and historic quadrangle of an Oxford college, a stark contrast to the impending chaos and uncertainty of the battlefield. The young men, dressed in their military uniforms, focus intently on their instructor, who demonstrates the intricacies of knot-tying, an essential skill for survival and efficiency in the field. The OTC was established to provide university students with military training and to prepare them for commissions in the British Army. With the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the importance of these corps became increasingly significant. Thousands of students from Oxford and other universities answered the call to duty, and many went on to serve with distinction. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the 'Lost Generation' of young men who left their academic pursuits behind to fight for their country. The image encapsulates the spirit of camaraderie, determination, and resilience that defined the Oxford University experience during the war years. The historical significance of this photograph lies not only in the context of the war but also in the broader narrative of higher education and its role in shaping the lives of young people during a time of great upheaval.
