This print titled "A blanket tossing interlude for the Manchester Battalions in training at Heaton Park" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the beginning of the First World War. Circa September 1914, this image captures the essence of camaraderie and resilience amidst challenging times. In this snapshot from the early 20th century, we witness a group of British soldiers belonging to the Manchester Battalions engaging in an unexpected break from their rigorous training regime.
