EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of wartime determination and courage as two despatch riders, clad in their distinctive uniforms, prepare for duty on their Douglas motorcycles during the First World War, circa 1916. The men, with their peaked caps perched atop their brows and goggles shielding their eyes, exude a sense of focus and intensity as they check their machines. The Douglas motorcycles, with their 349cc engines and distinctive wheels, were a common sight on the Western Front, where they played a crucial role in the rapid transmission of vital information between commanders and troops. The road stretches out before them, lined with trees, as the riders prepare to set off on their important missions. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the brave personnel who risked their lives to keep the communication lines open during one of history's most devastating conflicts.
