EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Observation - Picket watching Salmah from the Worm," captures a moment of quiet vigilance during the harsh winter of 1917-1918 in the Struma Valley Front of Salonika, during World War I. The image, taken by renowned British photographer Frank Algernon Stewart, depicts a solitary figure on horseback from the Surrey Yeomanry, his steely gaze fixed on the distant village of Salmah in the distance. The picket, clad in heavy winter gear, sits atop the North West corner of Gloucester Wood, his horse patiently waiting by his side. The title "Worm" refers to the trench or defensive position from which the soldier is watching. The Surrey Yeomanry, a part of the 1st Great War Military Forces, were stationed in Salonika as part of the Allied intervention in the Balkans. The harsh conditions of the front, coupled with the monotony of the picket duty, would have made this moment of observation a welcome respite. The photograph captures the stark beauty of the landscape, with the barren trees and snow-covered ground providing a stark contrast to the lush greenery and vibrant colors of home. Frank Algernon Stewart, a prolific photographer, captured the essence of the wartime experience through his topographical and equestrian images. This photograph, in particular, stands out for its poignant portrayal of the human experience amidst the harsh realities of war. The image is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who served on the front lines, and the quiet moments of observation and reflection that helped them endure the challenges of war.
