Oath Raised Recruit Recruitment Recruits Swearing Taking Volunteers Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of commitment and sacrifice as four young British Army recruits take the oath during the early days of World War I, around 1914. Dressed in their new uniforms, the recruits stand at attention, their expressions a mix of determination and apprehension, as they raise their right hands towards an officer who administers the oath. The Great War, which began in August 1914, saw an unprecedented wave of volunteers join the ranks of the British Army, answering the call to defend their country and uphold the values of freedom and justice. The oath-taking ceremony marked a pivotal moment in the lives of these young men, signifying their commitment to put their lives on the line for their nation and comrades. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and selflessness of the soldiers who answered the call to arms during this defining period in world history.
