EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the stoic determination of Major (Acting Lieutenant Colonel) Edward Anthony Steel, DSO, a British army officer who served with distinction during the First World War. Dated September 1914, the image finds Major Steel dressed in the full regalia of his rank, donning a peaked cap adorned with the insignia of the Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) and Royal Field Artillery (RFA). With his chest puffed out and gaze fixed ahead, Steel exudes a sense of authority and resolve. Born in 1880, Steel's military career began in earnest as he rose through the ranks of the British army. His service during the Great War saw him deployed to the Western Front, where he played a crucial role in the defense of Europe against the relentless onslaught of the German forces. However, his military prowess was not limited to the European theater. Steel also saw action in the Middle East and Russia, contributing to the Allied efforts in those regions. Steel's gallantry on the battlefield was recognized with the award of the Distinguished Service Order (DSO), a decoration bestowed upon officers for meritorious or distinguished service in the armed forces. Despite the horrors and hardships of war, Major Steel remained steadfast in his duties, embodying the courage and resilience of the British soldier during a time of unprecedented conflict. This evocative image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Major Edward Anthony Steel during the First World War. The cap, field uniform, and uniform accoutrements of this brave officer stand as testament to a bygone era, a time when the world was forever changed by the cataclysmic events of the Great War.
