EDITORS COMMENTS
February 1915: A Moment of Tragedy in Colchester's History This poignant photograph captures a moment of devastation and loss in the small town of Colchester, located on the east coast of Britain. The image, taken in the aftermath of a German air raid in February 1915, shows Quartermaster-Sergeant Radjohn and his family amidst the wreckage of their backyard. The first World War had brought a new kind of terror to the British Isles, as German planes began to target civilian areas, marking the first conflict in history to involve civilian casualties on such a large scale. The date was the 27th of February, and the town of Colchester, with its long and rich history, had become the latest victim of this new form of warfare. In the foreground of the photograph, Quartermaster-Sergeant Radjohn stands with his wife and baby son, their faces etched with shock and sadness as they survey the destruction around them. The family's home, once a place of safety and comfort, had been reduced to rubble by the explosive force of a German bomb. The East coast of Britain had long been a strategic target for German forces, and the town of Colchester, with its important port and military installations, was no exception. The town had suffered a number of attacks in the months leading up to this fateful day, but the damage inflicted on the Radjohn family's home was a stark reminder of the human cost of the conflict. As the world watched in horror, the people of Colchester and the surrounding areas began the long process of rebuilding their lives and their communities. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous period in history, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
