EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber scene of a lone sentry standing duty at the Chalk Pit Guard Room of the cement works at Creek Cliffe, Kent, on December 29, 1915. The sentry, identified as 21017 Private P.J. Hill of D Company, 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment, stands tall and alert, his rifle at the ready, against the backdrop of the industrial cement works. Private Hill's background is revealed in the inscription on the photograph, which states that he studied at the Lambeth School of Art in St. Oswalds Place, Upper Kennington Lane. At the time of the photograph, he resided at 6 Amott Road, Peckham Rye, London. The image is a poignant reminder of the young men who served in the military during World War I, and the diverse backgrounds and experiences they brought with them. The cement works at Creek Cliffe, located near the village of Cliffe on the Hoo peninsula in Kent, were a significant industrial site during this period. The chalk pits and cement works were a vital part of the region's economy, and the guard room served as an essential security post to protect the facilities. This topographical photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a snapshot of military life during WWI and the role of industry in the community. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is available for rights-managed licensing from Mary Evans Prints Online.
