EDITORS COMMENTS
Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram (1858-1946), Bishop of London, is depicted in this powerful photograph wearing the uniform of the Rifle Brigade to which he was attached as chaplain in 1914. With the outbreak of the First World War, Winnington-Ingram became an effective and tireless recruiter of volunteers, traveling extensively throughout England to encourage enlistment. In the early months of the war, his efforts were instrumental in boosting morale and swelling the ranks of the British military. In 1915, Winnington-Ingram embarked on a tour of the western front, followed by visits to the Grand Fleet at Rosyth and Scapa Flow in 1916. In 1918, he traveled to Salonica to offer support to the troops. Winnington-Ingram held a profound belief in the just cause of the war and spoke fervently and tirelessly against German atrocities, a stance that earned him both admiration and criticism. Prime Minister H.H. Asquith reportedly commented that Winnington-Ingram's views were "jingoism of the shallowest kind," while The Tatler noted that "his help and influence are enormous. His popularity with men of all grades of society is exceptional." This photograph captures a pivotal moment in Winnington-Ingram's life, as he answered the call to serve his country in uniform during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by religious leaders and ordinary citizens during the First World War.
