The Sportswoman's Page: Hunting Season in Ireland, 1917 - A Moment of Escape Amidst the Turmoil of Wartime This photograph, taken from The Sportswoman's Page in the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News on the 3rd of November 1917, offers a glimpse into the world of Irish hunting during wartime. The scene is set at the Waterford Foxhounds, where the Russell family, comprised of Mr. James Russell, Mr. Richard Russell, Mrs. Russell, and Miss Russell, are seen in the midst of the hunting season. The backdrop of the First World War casts a unique and intriguing light on this moment. Two distinguished gentlemen, the Russells, are dressed in traditional hunting attire, their faces reflecting a sense of excitement and anticipation. Mrs. Russell, equally elegant in her riding habit, holds the reins of her horse with a confident and determined expression. The presence of a young, unnamed Miss Russell adds a touch of youth and vitality to the scene. Among the visitors to the Newmarket Cesarewitch meeting is the charismatic Mrs. Burns-Lindow, the Irish Master of Foxhounds' wife, who courageously stepped up to act as Master during the war. Her bold and resilient spirit is evident in her poised and regal stance, as she prepares to lead the hunt. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of those who found solace in the pursuit of sport amidst the chaos and uncertainty of wartime. The enduring bond between the hunters and their horses, the tradition of the hunt, and the camaraderie of the community are all beautifully captured in this evocative image.
