EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captured by Henry Bedford Lemere in July 1922 showcases the solemn beauty of Guys Hospital Memorial Arch BL26209. Standing tall and proud, this War Memorial Arch stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War. Located in London's St Thomas Street, this arch is situated at the south of Memorial Park, which underwent a redesign in 1992. The park itself serves as a peaceful sanctuary for reflection and remembrance. However, it is the memorial arch that takes center stage, drawing visitors to pay their respects to those who lost their lives in the Great War. Lemere's expert eye captures every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. Although lacking its original colonnade, the arch still exudes an air of grandeur and significance. Its weathered stone surfaces bear witness to years gone by but remain steadfast in preserving history. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we are reminded not only of the bravery displayed by those who fought but also of our duty to honor their memory. This photograph serves as a timeless tribute to all those affected by war – an enduring symbol that reminds us never to forget their sacrifice.
