EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the Festival of History at Kelmarsh Hall, Northamptonshire. Stepping back into the tumultuous era of World War I, we witness British ground soldiers valiantly defending the "Kelmarais" airfield against a relentless onslaught by German aircraft. Amidst the chaos and danger, one soldier stands out as he takes aim with his rifle, determination etched on his face. His unwavering focus speaks volumes about the courage and resilience displayed by these brave men who fought for their country's freedom. The re-enactment event held in 2007 transports us to an era when weapon technology was evolving rapidly alongside advancements in aviation. The deafening roar of aeroplanes fills the air as they swoop down from above, threatening to decimate everything in their path. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the immense challenges faced by our ancestors during this devastating conflict. As we gaze upon this photograph taken by Nick Grigg under Historic England's watchful eye, we are reminded not only of the sacrifices made but also of our duty to remember and honor those who served. It is through such powerful images that history comes alive before our eyes, allowing us to connect with past events on a deeply personal level. Let this print serve as a testament to all those who fought bravely during World War I – their legacy lives on through each click of Nick Grigg's camera shutter.
