EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic determination of R.E Herring, MC, a British soldier during the First World War. Dated 1917, the image finds Herring in his military uniform, complete with the distinctive piping and insignia of his rank. The Cross Medal (MC) pinned to his chest bears testament to his bravery and valor in the face of adversity. The war, which raged from 1914 to 1918, was a defining moment in world history, with millions of men and women from across the globe answering the call to defend their countries. The 1910s were a time of great upheaval and change, and the image of Herring, with his pipe clenched between his teeth and his gaze fixed on the horizon, encapsulates the spirit of the era. The soldier's jacket and shirt, worn and weathered from the rigors of battle, speak to the hardships and challenges faced by those on the front lines. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Herring during the First World War, and the indelible impact that the conflict had on the course of history. This powerful image, part of The On Call in Africa Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and uncertainty. It serves as a reminder of the courage and resilience of those who served, and the enduring legacy of the First World War.
