EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Striking Images from The Sphere Magazine: A Glimpse into the Lord Mayor's Show of 1914 Amidst the Backdrop of the First World War The Lord Mayor's Show, an annual spectacle in London, took place on the 9th of November 1914, marking an extraordinary moment in history as Britain had been at war for two months. These two photographs, published in The Sphere magazine, offer a unique insight into this event during the First World War. The first image showcases a kilted Canadian regiment proudly marching through the streets of London. The soldiers' determined expressions and the crisp, orderly lines of their formation convey a sense of unity and resolve. The Canadian regiment's participation in the Lord Mayor's Show underscored the strong alliance between Britain and its Dominions, as Canada sent over 60,000 troops to support the war effort. The second photograph captures New Zealand troops joining the procession. The soldiers, wearing their distinctive uniforms, display a confident and determined demeanor. New Zealand, with a population of just over one million, contributed significantly to the war effort by sending over 100,000 soldiers. These images serve as a poignant reminder of the global solidarity and military might that came together to face the challenges of the First World War. These powerful photographs, taken from The Sphere magazine, offer a glimpse into a moment in history when the Lord Mayor's Show served as a platform for military spectacle, showcasing the participation of colonial forces from countries like Canada and New Zealand. The images evoke a sense of unity, resilience, and determination as the world came together to face the unprecedented challenges of the First World War.
