EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable moment in history. Titled "From the battlefield of St. Eloi to St. Paul's, Deptford: the Rev. E. N. Mellish, V. C" it showcases the Reverend Edward Noel Mellish VC during his leave from the Great War. In this poignant image, Rev. Mellish is seen conducting a children's service on June 5th, 1916. Despite being adorned with the prestigious Victoria Cross for his bravery on the battlefield of St. Eloi, he humbly takes on his role as a spiritual guide for these young souls. The contrast between war and peace is strikingly portrayed here – an emblematic representation of hope amidst chaos and destruction. The presence of children adds an element of innocence and reminds us that even in times of turmoil, life goes on. Rev. Mellish's dedication to both God and country shines through as he stands tall in his clerical attire among eager youngsters who look up to him with admiration. This photograph not only commemorates one man's extraordinary journey but also serves as a powerful testament to resilience and faith during one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War I. Preserved within this private collection, this historical gem allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made by individuals like Rev. Mellish while reminding us that even in times of war, compassion and spirituality can prevail.
