EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for young men of St. Paul's School Officers' Training Corps (OTC) during their military training at Petersfield Camp in 1915. The image shows a group of soldiers, dressed in their uniforms adorned with stripes denoting their ranks as sergeants and corporals, gathered around a guard tent. The scene is one of camaraderie and relaxation, as they enjoy a cup of tea on the lush grass, away from the rigors of military drills and exercises. The First World War (1914-1918) marked a significant period in the history of military education, with the OTC playing a crucial role in preparing young men for active service. The 1910s saw an increase in the popularity of these corps, with many schools and universities establishing their own units. The soldiers in this photograph, likely students at St. Paul's School in London, would have been part of this wave of young people receiving military training during the early years of the war. The photograph, taken in 1915, offers a glimpse into the daily life of these young soldiers, showcasing their youthful energy and the sense of community that existed within the OTC. The scene is reminiscent of the traditional British pastime of taking tea on the lawn, but with the added context of the soldiers' military uniforms and the backdrop of the guard tent, it serves as a poignant reminder of the unique circumstances that defined the era of the First World War.
