EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Royal Fusiliers, a distinguished regiment of the British Army, marching through the historic heart of the City of London in 1915. The soldiers, dressed in their iconic uniforms of scarlet jackets and black trousers, proudly bear the regiment's distinctive black and red flags with the Union Jack at their center. The regimental nicknames, "The Old Contemptibles" and "The Diehards," are emblazoned on the flags, reflecting the regiment's rich history and traditions. The Royal Fusiliers, established in 1685, have a long and storied past, having seen action in numerous conflicts, including the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean War, and both World Wars. Their reputation for bravery and tenacity earned them their unique monikers. As they march through the bustling streets of the City of London, the soldiers carry their swords at the ready, their determined expressions and focused gaze conveying a sense of discipline and resolve. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the regiment's presence in the city was a regular sight and a source of pride for its citizens. The photograph, taken in 1915 during the early years of World War I, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Royal Fusiliers and the other regiments of the British Army during that conflict. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the regiment and the indomitable nature of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
