EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the harrowing days of World War 1, specifically to the front lines in Thiepval Wood, The Somme, France. In this historic image, we see a group of brave British Army Border Regiment soldiers occupying their positions in the trenches. Published in 1935 as part of "The Story Of 25 Eventful Years In Pictures" this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these courageous infantrymen. The soldiers are captured amidst the grim reality of trench warfare, with their faces etched with determination and weariness. They stand tall despite the challenging conditions they face daily - mud-caked boots and uniforms evidence of relentless rain and unforgiving terrain. These men have become intimately familiar with every inch of these trenches; it is here that they find solace within makeshift shelters known as "funk holes". As we gaze upon this powerful image, we cannot help but be transported to a time when nations clashed on an unprecedented scale. It is a testament to human resilience and camaraderie amidst unimaginable adversity. Ken Welsh's masterful capture allows us to glimpse into history's pages and pay homage to those who fought valiantly during World War 1. This print stands not only as a remarkable piece of art but also as an enduring symbol for generations yet unborn - reminding us never to forget the sacrifices made by our forefathers on those blood-soaked battlefields so long ago.
