EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stern yet determined visage of Captain Elmer Barrington Woollett, a gallant officer of the 2nd Attached 4th Battalion Royal West Kent Regiment during World War I. Commissioned on November 20, 1914, as part of the 160 Brigade in the 53rd Division, Captain Woollett served his country with distinction in the tumultuous and historically significant period of the First Great War. The photograph, taken in a formal studio setting, highlights the uniform and insignia of Captain Woollett's rank and regiment. His stern gaze and posture exude a sense of duty, courage, and resilience, emblematic of the countless soldiers who answered the call to defend their homeland and protect the values they held dear. The Royal West Kent Regiment, also known as the "The Queen's Own," was a storied regiment with a rich history dating back to the English Civil War. Throughout World War I, the regiment participated in several significant battles, including the Battle of the Somme and the Battle of Passchendaele. Captain Woollett's service with the 2nd Attached 4th Battalion would have seen him involved in various engagements, making his photograph an invaluable historical artifact. As we commemorate the centenary of World War I and honor the sacrifices made by those who served, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the brave men and women who donned the uniform and answered the call to defend their country. Captain Elmer Barrington Woollett's unwavering commitment to duty and his regiment's storied history make this photograph a significant addition to any collection of military portraits or World War I memorabilia.
