EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a group of young men from Marlborough College in their Officers Training Corps (OTC) camp at Farnborough in August 1910. Among them, third from the left, in profile, is Albert Auerbach (1894-1918). The image exudes a sense of camaraderie and excitement as the young men stand before their tents, dressed in their crisp uniforms, some holding buckets and others laughing and smiling. Marlborough College, a renowned public school in Wiltshire, England, was known for its rigorous academic and military training. The OTC was an essential part of the curriculum, preparing young men for potential military service. The photograph is a testament to the school's commitment to providing a well-rounded education, combining both intellectual and physical development. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush grass and blue skies, with the tents and military equipment adding to the authenticity of the military training experience. The photograph, taken in August 1910, is a poignant reminder of the pre-war era, a time of innocence and optimism before the devastating impact of World War I. Albert Auerbach, born in 1894, would unfortunately lose his life during the war, making this photograph an even more significant piece of history. The image provides a glimpse into the lives of these young men, their youthful energy and enthusiasm for learning and military training, and the promise of a future that was soon to be shattered by the events of the First World War.
