EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative photograph captures a quiet moment in the midst of the chaos and turmoil of the First World War. The image, taken on June 18, 1916, in France, depicts a street scene with a church in the background and soldiers from the 3rd Canadian Division's 313870 Gunner Vivian John Cummings standing at attention in the foreground. Born on July 31, 1875, in Canada, Cummings was part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the Great War. The soldiers in the photograph are likely from the 1st Great Regiments of the Topographical Section, a unit responsible for providing maps and other intelligence to the military command. The peaceful scene of the church, with its tall spire reaching towards the sky, is a stark contrast to the soldiers' stern expressions and the military equipment at their feet. The soldiers' uniforms and weapons are a reminder of the ongoing conflict that was tearing through Europe at the time. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War, providing a historical record of the men and women who served and sacrificed during this time. The image is a poignant reminder of the human element of war, as well as the resilience and determination of those who fought to preserve peace and freedom."
