EDITORS COMMENTS
In a moment of respite amidst the chaos of war-torn France in August 1918, Major General Robert Alexander and Colonel John Robert Rigby Hannay were treated to an impromptu concert by the talented musicians of the 77th Division's band. The ruins of Chateau Fere provided a unique backdrop for this performance, as seen through the lens of Bain News Service photographer George Graham Bain. With instruments at the ready, the soldiers-turned-musicians entertained their commanding officers with lively tunes and melodies that brought joy to all who listened. This poignant moment captures not only the camaraderie between military leaders but also the power of music to bring people together in times of turmoil.
