The First V. C. ever Won by a Territorial, 1916
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment of immense bravery and historical significance during the First World War. The image showcases Second-Lieutenant G. H. Woolley, an unknown hero who became the first British Territorial Army officer to be awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross. The photograph depicts Lieutenant Woolley standing proudly amidst the chaos of battle on Hill 60 in Flanders, Belgium. His resolute gaze and determined stance convey his unwavering commitment to defending his country against all odds. In this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we witness the intensity of war as explosions light up the battlefield behind him. With bayonet in hand, Lieutenant Woolley embodies courage and selflessness as he fights for freedom alongside his fellow soldiers. Published in "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume IV: The Summer Campaign - 1915" edited by J. A. Hammerton, this rare image serves as a testament to both individual heroism and collective sacrifice during one of history's darkest periods. As we reflect upon this remarkable photograph over a century later, it reminds us of the countless men like Geoffrey Harold Woolley who risked everything for their country's cause. Their valorous actions continue to inspire generations and stand as a reminder that true heroes can emerge from unexpected places.
