EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of unity and anticipation that gripped the town of Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales, as soldiers marched up the High Street in the summer of 1914. With the outbreak of the First World War imminent, the community came together to show their support for the troops, who were departing for the front lines. In the foreground, a band of musicians plays a lively tune, their brass instruments gleaming in the sunlight. The soldiers, resplendent in their uniforms, march in formation, their faces determined and focused. Townspeople line the pavement, some waving handkerchiefs or hats, others simply watching in silence, as the procession passes by. The scene is one of great historical significance, as the soldiers of Haverfordwest and the surrounding areas were among the first to answer the call to arms, joining the British Expeditionary Force in August 1914. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the people of Wales during the Great War, and the role that music played in boosting morale and maintaining a sense of community during a time of great upheaval. This photograph, taken in the heart of Haverfordwest, is a testament to the resilience and spirit of the people of Pembrokeshire and Dyfed, who watched with pride and trepidation as their loved ones marched off to war.
