EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the heart of World War One on an unknown airfield in France. The image showcases a remarkable sight - a Royal Flying Corps (RFC) Padre utilizing the gunners position of an F. E. 2b aircraft as an improvised pulpit for Sunday Church Parade. Amidst the chaos and destruction of war, this brave clergyman fearlessly takes his place high above ground, delivering solace and hope to the valiant men serving their country. With unwavering faith, he stands tall against the backdrop of smoke-filled skies and rugged fighter planes. The year is circa 1916, and this poignant snapshot captures not only the military might but also highlights the importance of religion during times of conflict. As soldiers prepare for battle just behind the frontline on Western Front, they gather around this makeshift pulpit seeking spiritual guidance amidst turmoil. David McLellan's expertly captured moment immortalizes both bravery and devotion intertwined with war's harsh reality. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in moments when humanity seems distant or forgotten, faith can still flourish amid adversity. As we gaze upon this historical relic from Memory Lane Prints collection, we are reminded that while wars may be fought with guns and bombs, it is often through acts like these - where religion meets military service - that true strength emerges from within those who serve our nations selflessly.
