EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the history of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC). It showcases members of the RAOC gathered together for their annual dinner in 1965. The RAOC, entrusted with safeguarding explosives and munitions for the army, played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and efficiency of military operations. The photographer behind this remarkable image is Michael Walters, who himself served as a Captain in the regiment until completing his national service in 1955. His expertise and personal connection to the subject matter shine through, capturing both the solemnity and camaraderie present at this event. In this monochrome scene set within a grand dining hall, soldiers from different walks of life come together to celebrate their shared dedication to duty. Men and women alike are seated around an elegantly arranged dining table, symbolizing unity amidst diversity. The presence of furniture adorned with fine details adds an air of sophistication to this gathering. As we observe these old soldiers captured frozen in time, we are reminded not only of their commitment to protecting our nation but also their humanity beyond military duties. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst times of war and conflict, moments like these allow individuals to forge lasting bonds that transcend rank or background. Through Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , Michael Walters has immortalized this reunion forever—a testament to bravery, sacrifice, and resilience exhibited by those who have dedicated themselves to serving their country.
