EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative page from The Tatler, published in January 17, 1914, showcases three photographs of the gallant Guards regiments - the Royal Horse Guards and the 1st Life Guards - as they prepared to depart for the Western Front in the early days of World War I. The top photograph features officers of the Royal Horse Guards, their stern expressions and military bearing a testament to their readiness for the challenges ahead. The middle image is particularly poignant, with five sets of brothers proudly displayed amongst the ranks. The bond between these siblings, strengthened by their shared commitment to duty and service, would no doubt have provided great comfort and support in the trying times that lay ahead. Sadly, since these photographs were taken, there have been many gaps in the ranks of the brave fellows. The horrors of the battlefield claimed the lives of countless soldiers, leaving their comrades to carry on in their stead. The bottom row of the page showcases officers of the 1st Life Guards, their faces reflecting a mixture of determination and apprehension as they faced the unknown. These images serve as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men of the British Army during the First World War, and the indelible impact it had on the lives of those who served and their families.
