In this print by Tom Grant from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the early 20th century amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases a group of British Royal Marines finding solace and respite in their bomb-proof shelter at Vieux Wien near Antwerp, circa October 1st, 1914. As conflict rages on around them, these brave soldiers take a momentary pause from the relentless battle. Resting against the sturdy walls of their protective haven, they find comfort in each other's company and indulge in a well-deserved smoke. Rifles lay gently beside them as reminders of the constant vigilance required to defend their country. Surrounded by towering trees that bear witness to the horrors unfolding nearby, this scene encapsulates both camaraderie and exhaustion experienced by those who served during this tumultuous time. Their worn uniforms tell tales of countless days spent navigating treacherous trenches and enduring unimaginable hardships.
