EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment the 5th Battalion Connaught Rangers, part of the 10th (Irish) Division, arrived in Basingstoke, England, in May 1915, before departing for the Gallipoli campaign during the First World War. The soldiers, hailing from Ireland, are seen marching through the town with their equipment and supplies, their determined expressions reflecting the gravity of the situation. Dressed in their uniforms and carrying rifles, they exude a sense of discipline and readiness. The scene is set against the backdrop of a quiet English town, with civilians and children watching from the sidelines, offering a poignant reminder of the world being turned upside down by the Great War. The 10th Division, which was formed in August 1914, was the first all-Irish division to be raised for the British Army during WW1. The Connaught Rangers, a famous Irish regiment with a rich history, had been stationed in India before being called to fight in Europe. The Gallipoli campaign, which took place from April to December 1915, was a costly and ultimately unsuccessful attempt by the Allies to control the Dardanelles and secure a sea route to Russia. This photograph offers a glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as these brave men prepared to leave their homeland and embark on a dangerous and uncertain journey.
