This print takes us back in time to the Memorial Building at Eastbourne College, located on College Road in Eastbourne, East Sussex. Stepping into this room on the ground floor is like stepping into a solemn sanctuary of remembrance. The image showcases a poignant display of plaques adorned with the names of former students who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. The composition beautifully captures the somber atmosphere that permeates through this hallowed space. Soft light filters through tall windows, casting gentle shadows upon each plaque and emphasizing their significance. The attention to detail is remarkable; every name etched onto these memorial plaques represents an individual life forever altered by war. Photographed by Marshall Keene and Company, this image serves as a powerful commemoration of those who fought bravely for their country during WW1. It stands as a testament to their courage and sacrifice, ensuring that their memory lives on within these walls. As we gaze upon this photograph from Historic England Archive, we are reminded not only of the immense loss suffered during times of conflict but also of our duty to honor and remember those who gave everything for future generations. This print invites us to reflect upon history's lessons and pay tribute to those whose names grace these enduring memorials.
