EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative front-cover image from The Sketch magazine dates back to 1914 and features the revered Bishop of London, Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram KCVO PC. At the onset of the First World War, Bishop Winnington-Ingram, who had previously served as Chaplain to the London Rifle Brigade and London Royal Naval Volunteers since 1901, fervently supported the British cause. He could be found visiting troops on the Western Front and Salonika, offering spiritual guidance and solace to the soldiers in their time of need. As the war progressed, the Bishop's dedication to the British military efforts did not wane. He encouraged younger clergy members to enlist as soldiers, leading by example and setting a strong moral foundation for the troops. In this powerful photograph, Bishop Winnington-Ingram is seen wearing his chaplains field-kit, embodying the unique role of faith and spirituality during wartime. The image is a poignant reminder of the significant contribution of religious leaders during the First World War, and the unwavering support they provided to the soldiers on the front lines. The Bishop of London's unyielding commitment to the British cause and his role as a spiritual guide for the troops during this tumultuous period in history continues to be an inspiring tale of courage and faith.
