EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the heart of history, capturing a significant moment during the Great War. The scene unfolds at Lambeth Town Hall, where men from all walks of life have gathered in response to the call for recruitment. It is 1916, and Europe is embroiled in one of its most devastating conflicts. The image showcases a long queue of determined individuals patiently waiting outside the recruiting office. Each face tells a unique story - stories of bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice. These men are ready to answer their country's plea for volunteers as they stand united under the banner of The Queens (Royal West Surrey Regiment). The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of solemnity and nostalgia to this powerful snapshot from London's past. One can almost feel the anticipation and uncertainty that hung heavy in the air during those tumultuous times. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of the immense courage displayed by these ordinary citizens turned soldiers. Their selflessness serves as a testament to their unwavering dedication towards protecting their homeland. Preserved through time by Central News' lens, this image offers us a glimpse into an era defined by resilience and unity amidst chaos. It stands as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, humanity has always found strength within itself – strength born out of duty and love for one's nation.
