12th Button Buttons Dixon Rangers Regiment Twelve
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber and introspective expression of L/Cpl J R Dixon as he carefully examines the twelve buttons arranged before him. The image, taken in 1917 (circa), finds Dixon, a proud member of the 12th (County of London) Battalion of The London Regiment, also known as The Rangers, deep in thought as he removes the buttons from his uniform. The 12th Battalion, part of the renowned London Regiment, saw extensive action during the First World War. Dixon, like countless other soldiers, had likely endured the horrors of the battlefield, and these buttons may represent the memories and experiences of comrades lost during the conflict. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the life of a soldier during wartime, revealing the emotional weight carried by those who served. The twelve buttons, now removed from their original uniform, stand as silent testaments to the sacrifices made by Dixon and his comrades. This image, taken in 1917, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the profound impact it had on the lives of those who fought. L/Cpl J R Dixon's introspective moment, captured in this photograph, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War.
