EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of a World War 1 Army Camp at Weeton, near Preston in Lancashire, England, during the year 1915. The image portrays a horse-drawn cart laden with supplies making its way through the camp, surrounded by infantrymen in their uniforms, some of whom are engaged in various activities. The camp, which was established in August 1914, was one of the largest in the UK, accommodating over 40,000 soldiers at its peak. It served as a training ground for the British Expeditionary Force, preparing soldiers for the harsh realities of the battlefield. The presence of the horse-drawn cart underscores the importance of logistics and supply lines in the military effort during this era. The infantrymen, with their determined expressions and focused demeanor, serve as a reminder of the courage and resilience of the soldiers who served during this time. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the daily life and experiences of the soldiers who trained at Weeton Camp during World War 1.
