EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant photograph, Lieutenant H.A. Birrell-Anthony stands solemnly before the Monuments of the Monmouths Regiment in the historic town of Ieper, or Ypres, in Belgium. The year is 2016, but the haunting reminders of the past are ever present in this hallowed place. The Monmouths Memorial, also known as the Monmouths' Monument, is a poignant tribute to the soldiers of the Monmouthshire Regiment who lost their lives during the First World War. The regiment, which was part of the British Army, saw heavy action in some of the most brutal battles of the war, including the Battle of Ypres in 1914 and 1915. Lieutenant Birrell-Anthony, dressed in his military uniform, pays his respects to the fallen soldiers of the Monmouths Regiment. His expression is one of deep reflection and reverence, as he stands before the names etched into the stone. The memorial, which is located in the Frezenberg area of Ieper, is a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men of the Monmouths Regiment and the countless others who fought and died in the First World War. The photograph captures the somber atmosphere of the site, with the grey sky and the muted colors of the memorial creating a sense of melancholy. The poppies, which are a symbol of remembrance for the fallen soldiers of the war, add a touch of color to the scene. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Monmouths Regiment and the countless others who fought and died in the First World War. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who gave their lives for their country and a reminder of the importance of remembering their sacrifices.
