EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a group of young men from the University Officers Training Corps (UOTC) at Epsom, Surrey, as they march across a golden autumnal field in the autumn of 1914. Among the ranks of these determined and focused individuals is Albert Auerbach (1894-1918), a civilian clad student who would later join the ranks of the Royal Fusiliers as the First World War escalated. The UOTC was an integral part of the British military's preparations for the impending conflict, providing education and military training to students and civilians alike. The young men in this image, dressed in their civilian attire, are seen here in a moment of camaraderie and discipline, as they prepare to take on the responsibilities of future military leadership. As the shadows lengthen and the leaves crunch underfoot, the scene is a poignant reminder of the era's unique blend of education, military training, and the looming specter of war. Albert Auerbach, and countless others like him, would soon leave their studies behind to answer the call to duty, forever altering the course of their lives and the history of the world. This photograph, taken in the autumn of 1914, offers a glimpse into the lives of these young men on the cusp of a transformative period in history. As we reflect on the sacrifices made during the First World War, this image stands as a testament to the courage, determination, and resilience of those who answered the call to service.
