EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of pride and joy as Huntley Wright, a beloved actor and comedian of the early 20th century, receives his Army commission in 1915. Dressed in a smart khaki uniform, Wright stands tall and confident, his young daughter gazing up at him with admiration and affection. The First World War had recently begun, and many men from all walks of life, including entertainers, felt the call to duty. Wright, who had made a name for himself on the stages of London's West End and in music halls across the country, was no exception. The image, published by the Illustrated London News, captures the spirit of the times as the entertainment industry and the military intersected in a unique way. Wright's career as a comedian had brought laughter and joy to countless people, but now he was ready to serve his country in a different capacity. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those in the entertainment industry during the First World War, and the enduring bond between a father and his child. The year was 1915, and the Great War was in full swing. The world was changing, and so was Huntley Wright's life. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the human spirit, and a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered the call to duty during a time of great upheaval.
