EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of men intently focused on their target practice at a shooting range in Wales, prior to the outbreak of the First World War. Dressed in civilian clothing, these individuals may have been part of the Home Defence movement, which encouraged citizens to learn military skills and prepare for potential conflict. The success or failure of their shooting abilities is documented on various blackboards, with chalked scores and comments providing a sense of friendly competition. The scene transports us back in time to an era of heightened tension and preparation for war. The men, some with serious expressions, others with more lighthearted demeanors, handle their rifles and artillery with precision and determination. The field setting, dotted with trees and rolling hills, adds to the idyllic yet ominous atmosphere. This historical image offers a glimpse into the training and mindset of civilians who were preparing for the great war that was to come. The use of blackboards to record the results of their target practice is a testament to the importance of record-keeping and accountability, even in the context of military training. The men's dedication and focus are palpable, as they hone their skills and prepare for the potential challenges of war. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of military training and the role that civilians played in the build-up to the First World War.
