EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene near the Post Office building at Witley Army Camp in Surrey during World War I. Dated between 1916 and 1919, the image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the British military during this pivotal period in history. The Post Office building, with its red-tiled roof and ornate chimney, stands proudly in the background, serving as a vital communication hub for the camp. Surrounding the building are a multitude of huts and tents, housing the soldiers who were training for the front lines. Men in uniforms, some with caps at a jaunty angle, mill about, engaged in various activities. Some are deep in conversation, while others appear to be waiting in line. The sense of camaraderie and community is palpable, as soldiers take a break from their rigorous training regimen. The scene is a testament to the sheer scale of the military effort during the war, with the huts and tents stretching out into the distance, forming a maze of temporary shelter. The image also underscores the importance of communication and logistics in maintaining the military machine, with the Post Office building serving as a crucial link between the front lines and the home front. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their families during World War I, and the vital role that Witley Army Camp played in the British war effort. The image has been carefully preserved and is now available as a high-resolution print, allowing us to appreciate the historical significance of this moment in time.
