First World War Military Training
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the Hallam Moors in Sheffield, where the echoes of history still resonate. The image showcases a remarkable sight - practice trenches that were once used for military training during the First World War. As we gaze upon this aerial view, we are transported to Redmires First World War Training Area in 2015. The intricate network of trenches stretches out before us, revealing the meticulous planning and engineering that went into creating these earthworks. Each trench tells a story of soldiers who bravely prepared themselves for battle, honing their skills and fortifying their resolve. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought on these very grounds. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural beauty of these practice trenches. The composition offers a unique perspective from above, showcasing the vastness and complexity of this military training site. As we reflect on this image, let us remember those who trained here - ordinary men turned heroes - as they prepared themselves mentally and physically for war. This print serves as an enduring tribute to their courage and resilience while also reminding us of our duty to preserve such important remnants from our past.
