EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the poignant moment of camaraderie and reflection between two soldiers of the Outram's Rifles, 4th Battalion, 6th Rajputana Rifles, during the tumultuous years of the First World War (1914-1918). The soldiers, identified as Stanley Nicholson Babb, FRBS (1874-1957), and an unnamed comrade, are seen seated on a makeshift bench, their weary expressions etched with the weight of the experiences they have shared. The photograph, taken against the backdrop of a barren and desolate landscape, underscores the harsh realities of the battlefield. The Outram's Rifles, a distinguished military regiment of the British Indian Army, played a significant role in the campaign against the Ottoman Empire during the First World War. The 4th Battalion, 6th Rajputana Rifles, in particular, saw action in the Mesopotamian campaign, where they faced numerous challenges, including extreme weather conditions, disease, and relentless enemy attacks. Stanley Nicholson Babb, a British sculptor, served as an officer in the regiment during this period. His military service influenced his later work, which often depicted soldiers and military themes. The photograph, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War, stands as a testament to the enduring bond of brotherhood that exists between comrades-in-arms.
