EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Historic England Archive takes us back to a significant moment in history, capturing the devastating aftermath of war. The image showcases the interior view of Lincolns Inn Chapel, located in Holborn, London, during October 1915. A shattered stained glass window stands as a haunting testament to the destructive power unleashed by a German Zeppelin bomb. In this poignant snapshot frozen in time, we witness the profound impact of World War I on British soil. The chapel's serene atmosphere is marred by chaos and destruction; shards of once-beautiful stained glass lie scattered across the floor like fallen soldiers. This solemn scene serves as a stark reminder of how even places of worship were not spared from wartime devastation. The photograph was taken shortly after that fateful day on 13th October 1915 when tragedy struck. It captures both the fragility and resilience inherent within humanity during times of conflict. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where destruction reigned supreme but hope still flickered amidst darkness. Through this historical lens provided by Historic England Archive, we are granted a glimpse into an untold story – one that speaks volumes about sacrifice and loss endured during World War I. Let us remember those who suffered and honor their memory as we reflect upon this powerful visual testimony etched forever in our collective consciousness.
