1896 1962 Claude Corps Pipe Sergeant Tank Rowberry
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic and weary visage of Sergeant E. Claude Rowberry (1896-1962), a brave soldier of the British Army's Tank Corps during the First World War. With a military medal (MM) pinned to his chest, Rowberry's uniform bears the battle scars of his service in the Great War. The worn and creased fabric, frayed edges, and faded insignia all serve as poignant reminders of the hardships and sacrifices endured by the men and women who fought in this global conflict. Sergeant Rowberry's expression is one of quiet determination, his piercing gaze fixed on an unseen horizon. His hands are clasped behind his back, and in his left hand, he holds a pipe, its smoke curling up into the air. The pipe, a common comfort for soldiers in the trenches, adds a sense of humanity to this powerful image. The First World War, also known as WWI or the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918. It was a global conflict that saw the mobilization of millions of soldiers and civilians, and the deployment of new and devastating technologies, such as tanks, machine guns, and poison gas. The war resulted in the deaths of an estimated 8.5 million military personnel and 7 million civilians. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Sergeant E. Claude Rowberry during the First World War. It is a testament to the courage, determination, and resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity. The photograph is part of the First World War Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online and is available for licensing for historical and educational purposes.
