EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the tumultuous times of World War One. Following a devastating Zeppelin raid on London and the Eastern Counties, which resulted in the tragic loss of one hundred and six lives, Horatio Bottomley made an impassioned appeal for recruits to join the military forces. The response was overwhelming as more than a hundred and six brave men presented themselves at Trafalgar Square. In this poignant image, we witness the newly signed up recruits marching with unwavering determination across Horse Guards Parade, following the rallying call to arms. The rhythmic beat of drums resonates through the air as these courageous soldiers proudly don their kilts, symbolizing their readiness to defend their homeland. The large crowd gathered here reflects not only the immense patriotism that gripped Britain during those challenging times but also serves as a testament to the resilience and unity of its people. Men from all walks of life answered duty's call, leaving behind their families and embracing uncertainty for a greater cause. This photograph encapsulates both hope and sacrifice - it immortalizes those who willingly stepped forward amidst tragedy to protect what they held dear. It stands as a reminder of our shared history and honors those who selflessly served on the home front during World War One.
