EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts a poignant moment during the First World War at Garter Point, Ypres, Belgium on 24th October 1917. The image, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to the harsh realities of the Western Front. The scene is set against the backdrop of a somber, muddy landscape, with the remnants of a British bunker visible in the foreground. Soldiers in Victorian and Edwardian uniforms huddle together, their faces etched with a mixture of exhaustion, determination, and concern. They appear to be studying a map or discussing strategy, their lanterns casting an eerie glow over their determined expressions. The title "Garter Point Ypres, Belgium 24th October 1917" is inscribed on the slide, a reminder of the specific date and location of this moment in history. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the war, and the importance of camaraderie and strategy in the face of adversity. The lantern slide, with its rich history and intriguing subject matter, offers a unique and powerful way to connect with the past. It invites us to reflect on the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought during the First World War, and to remember the sacrifices they made for future generations.
