EDITORS COMMENTS
Waiting for the Rabbit to Bolt" is a captivating photograph taken from an album of 101 images, which also includes newspaper cuttings, chronicling the experiences of the 1st Bn Middlesex Regiment (Duke of Cambridge's Own) during their service in Cyprus between 1955 and 1958. The image, dated 1957, depicts a group of soldiers, likely members of the regiment, gathered around a makeshift barricade, their expressions a mix of anticipation and concentration. At the center of the photograph, a soldier aims a Bren gun, its barrel protruding from a hole in the wall, while another soldier, with a determined look on his face, holds a bag of what appears to be carrots. The caption "Waiting for the rabbit to bolt" suggests that the soldiers are engaged in a hunting activity, perhaps as a way to pass the time during their military duties. The image is a poignant reminder of the everyday experiences of soldiers during times of conflict, and the creative ways they found to cope with the challenges of their environment. The use of a common hunting phrase as the caption adds a touch of humor and lightness to an otherwise serious situation. The album, filled with photographs and newspaper cuttings, provides a rich and detailed account of the regiment's time in Cyprus, offering insights into their daily lives, training, and interactions with the local population. The photograph "Waiting for the rabbit to bolt" is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the soldiers, and a reminder of the human side of military life.
