EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the interior of the new military chapel in Woolwich, London, constructed in the aftermath of the devastating destruction of the former garrison church during World War II. The original church, consecrated in 1863, was sadly hit by a V-1 flying bomb in 1944, resulting in extensive damage and a large fire that left the place of worship in ruins. The new military chapel, a testament to resilience and perseverance, was designed to provide a sacred space for the spiritual and emotional wellbeing of the military community in Woolwich. The interior of the chapel is adorned with intricate architectural details, including ornate columns and stained glass windows, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. The warm glow of the light filtering through the windows illuminates the space, casting long shadows on the polished wooden pews. The photograph transports us back to the 1860s, a time when the chapel was a bustling hub of activity for the military community. Soldiers and their families would gather here for worship, seeking solace and comfort in the face of the challenges and hardships of military life. The chapel served as a symbol of hope and strength, a place where the community could come together to honor their faith and pay tribute to their shared history and traditions. Today, the military chapel in Woolwich continues to stand as a beacon of hope and resilience, providing a sacred space for military personnel and their families to come together and find solace and strength in times of need.
