EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the somber beauty of the Royal Artillery Memorial at Hyde Park Corner in London, dedicated to the fallen soldiers of the Royal Regiment of Artillery during the First World War. Designed by renowned sculptors Charles Jagger and Lionel Pearson, the memorial was unveiled in the 1920s as a tribute to the over 18,000 men of the Royal Regiment of Artillery who lost their lives in the conflict. The central figure of the memorial is a life-size bronze figure of a fallen gunner, his base adorned with wreaths and other tributes. The figure is surrounded by a series of stone reliefs depicting various aspects of artillery warfare, from the loading of guns to the deployment of soldiers in the field. The memorial's intricate design and attention to detail reflect the importance of the Royal Regiment of Artillery in the war effort, as well as the deep sense of loss and mourning felt by the regiment and the nation as a whole. The photograph, taken in the 1920s, captures the memorial in a quiet moment, with only a few wreaths at its base. The scene is one of reflection and remembrance, a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War. The memorial remains a popular destination for visitors to Hyde Park Corner, a testament to the enduring impact of the First World War on British history and culture.
