EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for the Westminster Fusiliers as they mobilized at the start of the First World War. The scene unfolds at Waterloo Station in London, August 1914, with soldiers clad in their distinctive uniforms, standing in formation on the platform, their faces a mix of determination and apprehension. The railway tracks stretch out behind them, the steam from the approaching troop train billowing in the distance. The Westminster Fusiliers, a prominent British military regiment, were among the first to answer the call to arms as Europe descended into conflict. As the sun sets on the horizon, these brave men, many of whom were local residents from the London area, were about to embark on a journey that would change their lives and the course of history forever. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the military personnel during the First World War and the profound impact it had on the world.
