EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for a group of Young Officers Training Corps (OTC) cadets from St. Paul's School in London during their summer camp at Petersfield in 1915. Amidst the backdrop of the First World War, military training was an essential component of education for many young people, instilling discipline, leadership, and a sense of duty. The cadets, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are seen here relaxing on the lush grass, enjoying a break from their rigorous training regimen. Their youthful energy and camaraderie are palpable, as they engage in lighthearted conversation and laughter. The scene is one of tranquility, a brief reprieve from the intensity of their military instruction. Petersfield Camp, located in the picturesque English countryside, offered these young men an opportunity to learn essential military skills in a setting that was far removed from the urban environment of their school in London. The camp provided a valuable experience, not only in military training but also in teamwork, self-reliance, and personal growth. This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, offers a poignant reminder of the experiences of teenagers during the First World War. Many of these young men would go on to serve their country in the conflict, their training at camps like Petersfield preparing them for the challenges they would face on the battlefield. The image stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of a generation that came of age during a time of great upheaval and change.
