EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1939: British Soldiers Marching in Wales Amidst the somber backdrop of the approaching Second World War, this photograph captures a moment of resilience and determination as a contingent of British soldiers marches through the Welsh countryside. The soldiers, clad in shorts and puttees, may appear unconventional in their attire for the impending conflict, but their spirits remain unbroken. The Sphere magazine, in commenting on the image, acknowledges the unusual sight of soldiers marching in shorts, a decision likely made due to the mild Welsh autumn weather. However, the magazine reassures its readers that despite their exposed knees, these men are well-prepared and capable. The soldiers carry their weapons with pride and purpose, their faces set with determination as they march towards an uncertain future. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the early days of the Second World War, when the British military was mobilizing its forces in preparation for the battles to come. The soldiers' unwavering spirit and readiness to serve, even in seemingly unsuitable conditions, underscores the bravery and resilience of the British military during this pivotal moment in history.
