Life Amongst the Sand Bags
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant and evocative image captured by renowned war photographer Hugo Morgan during the First World War. The photograph, mounted on a card and featuring a book cover design, depicts a group of weary soldiers huddled together behind sandbags. The men, dressed in uniforms of the Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry, appear to be engaged in a quiet moment of respite amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. The cover of the book, titled "Life Amongst the Sand Bags" by Hugo Morgan, is a testament to the harsh realities of life in the trenches. The design of the cover was created by Private George Barrow, numbered 240455, of the same battalion. Born in Bermondsey and enlisted in Camberwell, Barrow lived in Kennington before making the ultimate sacrifice on August 31, 1917. He is buried at the Mendinghem Military Cemetery in Poperinge, West-Flaanderen, Belgium (Grave Reference Va14). The image and book cover are a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the camaraderie and resilience of the soldiers who served. The sandbags, a symbol of protection against enemy fire, serve as a stark contrast to the fragility of human life. The men, dressed in uniforms of the 6th Battalion, Oxford & Bucks Light Infanantry (formerly 7389, Royal Berkshire Regiment), embody the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought in the 1st Great War. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Private Barrow and the regiments they served in, such as the Oxford & Bucks Light Infantry and the Royal Berkshire Regiment. This evocative photograph, with its haunting image of life in the trenches and the poignant book cover design, is a poignant and powerful reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of the soldiers who served. It is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the men who fought in the 1st Great War and a reminder of the importance of remembering their stories.
