EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment the Irish contingent of the University and Public Schools Brigade (UPS) arrived at Epsom, Surrey, in the early days of the First World War. Established in 1900, the UPS was a volunteer military unit made up of students from universities and public schools across the United Kingdom. The Irish contingent, proudly wearing their flat caps and civilian clothes adorned with the distinctive green shamrock badge, marched towards their new billets in preparation for military training. The image vividly portrays the young, eager recruits, many with a determined expression in their eyes, as they embarked on their military journey. The soldiers, a mix of students and teachers, had left their academic pursuits behind to answer the call to arms. The scene at Epsom was just the beginning of their wartime experience, which would see them face the harsh realities of military life and the horrors of the battlefield. The UPS played a significant role in the British war effort, providing a valuable source of manpower and discipline. The contingent's arrival at Epsom marked the start of their transformation from civilians to soldiers, a transformation that would be crucial in the months and years to come. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by these young men during the Great War, and the important role education and the spirit of camaraderie played in shaping their experiences.
