EDITORS COMMENTS
The Officer Training Corps had its beginnings in 1902, following the Second Boer War, as a way to prepare young men for military service. This photograph captures a parade of training officers in 1917, during the midst of World War I. The scene is filled with a sense of duty and patriotism as these young recruits march proudly in their uniforms.
The year 1917 was a pivotal time in history, with the world engulfed in the chaos of war. These officers-in-training were being groomed to lead and serve their country on the front lines. The discipline and dedication seen in this image reflect the seriousness of their mission.
As they march through Westminster School, one can imagine the anticipation and nerves that must have been running high among these young men. They were preparing themselves for battle, knowing full well the dangers that lay ahead.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who came before us, willing to put themselves in harm's way for a greater cause. It is a testament to the bravery and commitment shown by these individuals as they answered their nation's call to arms.
