EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1928: A Momentous Arrival at St Omer, Northern France - Battlefields Pilgrims Reunite with the Land of Sacrifice and Heroism In the heart of the 1920s, as the world began to heal from the scars of the First World War, a remarkable event unfolded in Europe. Over 11,000 people, many of them veterans and their families, embarked on a pilgrimage to France and Flanders, led by the British Legion. This poignant journey was a testament to the enduring spirit of comradeship and remembrance, as well as a tribute to the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the Great War. The photograph captures the arrival of the Battlefields Pilgrims at St Omer, a small town in northern France, where they were welcomed by the local community and the Prince of Wales. Among the distinguished figures in this image is Percy Barton, the Chairman of the South Western Area (extreme left), and members of the West Country Party (Party D). The pilgrims, dressed in their Sunday best, appear solemn yet hopeful, their faces reflecting a mix of emotions as they step off the train and onto the European soil that holds such profound significance for them. The railway transport, a symbol of progress and connection, played a crucial role in facilitating this extraordinary pilgrimage. The trains carried the pilgrims from their homeland to the battlefields of France and Flanders, allowing them to pay their respects to the fallen heroes and reconnect with the land that had been forever changed by the horrors of war. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable human spirit and the power of collective memory, as the pilgrims embarked on a journey of healing, commemoration, and unity, leaving a lasting legacy for future generations.
