EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print titled "Troops of the B. E. F. (City of London Royal Fusiliers) seen here at Hounslow railway station embarking for Dover. 12th August 1914" we are transported back to a significant moment in history - the outbreak of World War One. The image captures a large group of British soldiers, part of the City of London Royal Fusiliers, bidding farewell to their loved ones as they prepare to embark on a journey into uncertainty. The scene is filled with mixed emotions - anxiety and determination etched on the faces of these brave men, while tearful goodbyes and heartfelt embraces unfold amidst the bustling railway station. As they stand together in their compartment, ready for transport, one can only imagine the thoughts racing through their minds: thoughts about what lies ahead on foreign soil and whether they will ever return home. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder not only of the sacrifices made by these troops but also represents countless similar scenes that played out across Britain during those tumultuous times. It symbolizes unity and resilience in the face of adversity. Preserved by Daily Mirror Archive's Memory Lane Prints collection, this snapshot from over a century ago allows us to reflect upon our shared history and honor those who served during World War One.
