13th Captured Enemy Guns Loos Mayors Paraded
EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a significant moment in the annals of World War I, as enemy guns captured at the Battle of Loos are paraded through the streets of London during the Lord Mayor's Show in November 13, 1915. The 21-gun salute, an age-old tradition marking the installation of a new Lord Mayor, took on a new meaning during this wartime event. The guns, imported from the Western Front, were a testament to the Allied forces' military prowess and a symbol of their determination to triumph over the Central Powers. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, shows a crowd of onlookers lining the streets, their faces a mix of awe, pride, and solemnity. Soldiers, some in uniform and others in civilian attire, march alongside the captured guns, their expressions reflecting the gravity of the moment. The horses pulling the gun carriages appear tense, their ears pricked, as they navigate the cobblestones. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, when London's streets echoed with the sounds of victory and the city came together to celebrate its resilience and the courage of its soldiers. The Lord Mayor's Show of 1915 was a poignant reminder that the war was being fought not just on the battlefields of Europe, but also in the hearts and minds of the British people. The capture of these enemy guns at the Battle of Loos was a turning point in the war, and their public display during the Lord Mayor's Show served as a morale booster for the British public. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during wartime and the enduring spirit of the British people.
