EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as members of the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) pose for a group photo at Waterloo Station in August 1914, before embarking for France to join the fight in the First World War. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, stand proudly and confidently, reflecting the sense of duty and patriotism that drove them to answer the call to arms. The RHA, a renowned and historic British regiment, was known for its expertise in horse-drawn artillery and played a crucial role in the early stages of the war. The image of these soldiers at Waterloo Station marks the beginning of their journey to the battlefields of France and Belgium, where they would face the challenges and hardships of trench warfare and the horrors of the Western Front. Waterloo Station, a major transport hub in London, served as a key departure point for troops heading to the front lines during the First World War. The railway network played a vital role in the mobilization of the British military, allowing large numbers of soldiers to be transported quickly and efficiently to the Continent. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the British military during the First World War, and the important role that the railway system played in the logistical support of the war effort. It is a powerful image that resonates with the history and heritage of the Royal Horse Artillery and the British Army as a whole.
