EDITORS COMMENTS
In August 1928, a significant pilgrimage took place in northern France as part of the commemoration of the 11th anniversary of the end of the First World War. Organized by the British Legion, this pilgrimage brought together an estimated 11,000 people from across the United Kingdom, who traveled to France and Flanders to pay their respects at the battlefields where so many British and Commonwealth soldiers had made the ultimate sacrifice. The print captures a poignant moment during this pilgrimage, as members of the North-Western party carefully inspect the trenches on Vimy Ridge. The Prince of Wales, who was also in attendance, looks on from a distance, showing a solemn respect for the historical significance of the site. The 1920s, a decade marked by the aftermath of the Great War, saw a growing interest in war memorials and commemorative events. This pilgrimage was an important part of the postwar healing process, allowing the British people to come together and honor the sacrifices made by their fallen heroes. The print offers a glimpse into this moving moment in history, as the pilgrims connect with the past and pay their respects to the brave men and women who fought and died in the trenches of Vimy Ridge. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the enduring spirit of remembrance that continues to this day.
