EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of a WW1 Field Kitchen at Bovington Army Camp in Wool, Purbeck, Dorset, England during the 1910s. The image transports us back in time to the harsh realities of life on the front lines. Soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, are seen busy at work preparing meals for their comrades. The kitchen, a large tent with a wood-burning stove at its heart, is surrounded by other tents and makeshift structures. The soldiers work in unison, each with a specific role in the preparation and serving of the food. The air is filled with the aroma of cooking meat and vegetables, a welcome respite from the harsh conditions of the battlefield. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and open countryside, a stark contrast to the chaos and destruction of the war. Despite the harsh conditions, there is a sense of camaraderie and community amongst the soldiers, as they work together to provide sustenance for their comrades. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during wartime, highlighting the importance of food and the role it played in maintaining morale and keeping the troops fighting fit.
