EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during World War I. The image showcases the parade of various sections of the New Army, consisting of 12,000 men recruited from Liverpool, south Lancashire, and West Cheshire. Standing opposite St Georges Hall is Horatio Herbert Kitchener, 1st Earl Kitchener of Khartoum, who served as the Secretary for War since 1914. In this powerful photograph, Lord Kitchener can be seen taking the salute from those marching past him. His commanding presence is evident as he stands for over an hour to observe and acknowledge each soldier's dedication to their duty. The crowd surrounding him adds depth to the image, reflecting both anticipation and admiration for these brave men. The composition beautifully captures not only the military aspect but also reveals glimpses into British culture during this time period. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals on the home front to support their country's war effort. Preserved in its original landscape format with stunning black and white tones, this archival print offers viewers a unique perspective into an important chapter in British history. It allows us to appreciate both the character and resilience displayed by those serving in Britain's armed forces during World War I.
