EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative First World War photograph album, dating from 1914 to 1916, belongs to Lieutenant-Colonel P. SYRCOLD of the 1st/4th Battalion Royal Berkshire Regiment, serving in the 48th Division. The album contains 41 carefully preserved black-and-white photographs, offering a unique insight into the experiences of a British officer during this pivotal period in world history. The album opens with images of soldiers training at Chelmsford, a stark contrast to the scenes of war that follow. Among these early photographs are images of the peaceful Belgian towns of Ploegsteert and Hébuterne, which would soon become the backdrop to intense fighting. The album includes poignant images of the Nieppe Road, transport lines at Coigneux, and the devastation caused by German shelling in Ploegsteert village in May 1915. Of particular note are photographs of named officers, including R. Poulton Palmer, adding a personal touch to the historical record. These images offer a glimpse into the lives of the men who served under Lieutenant-Colonel Syrcold, providing a humanizing counterpoint to the larger narrative of war. The photographs in this album capture the raw emotion and intensity of the First World War, from the camaraderie of training camps to the devastation of the battlefield. They serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during this tumultuous time in history.
