EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Edward Harold Begbie: The Journalist Who Believed in the Angels of Mons Edward Harold Begbie (1871-1929), a prominent British journalist, is best known for his belief and subsequent writing about the Angels of Mons, a purported supernatural event during the early days of World War One. Born in London in 1871, Begbie began his journalistic career in the late 1800s, working for various newspapers and magazines. During the First World War, Begbie served as a war correspondent for the London Evening News. It was during this time that he reportedly encountered numerous soldiers who claimed to have seen or experienced otherworldly encounters, most notably the Angels of Mons. These soldiers described seeing a multitude of angels, clad in white robes, appearing before them during the Battle of Mons in 1914. Despite widespread skepticism from the military and the public, Begbie chose to believe these accounts and wrote about them in his book "The Angels of Mons: A Story of the War," which was published in 1915. In the book, Begbie recounted the soldiers' tales and argued that the angels were a divine intervention, sent to protect the British troops. Begbie's book gained significant attention and controversy, with some hailing it as a testament to the power of faith and the supernatural, while others dismissed it as a fabrication. Regardless of the reception, Begbie's belief in the Angels of Mons remained steadfast, and he continued to write about the phenomenon until his death in 1929. This photograph captures Edward Harold Begbie in the prime of his career, with the intensity and conviction in his eyes reflecting his unwavering belief in the Angels of Mons. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and the human capacity to believe in the extraordinary, even in the face of skepticism and doubt.
