EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures a significant moment in the history of World War I remembrance, as the Bishop of London, Arthur Winnington-Ingram, blesses the War Shrine in Hyde Park, London, in 1918. The shrine, a tribute to the countless lives lost during the Great War, was a place where the people of England could come together to pay their respects and honor their fallen heroes. The image shows the Bishop, dressed in his religious attire, standing before the shrine, surrounded by a large crowd of mourners. The somber atmosphere is palpable as the Bishop raises his hands in prayer, invoking blessings upon the memorial. The working class people in the background, dressed in their Sunday best, stand in quiet reflection, their faces etched with sorrow and contemplation. The War Shrine, located in the heart of London, was a symbol of hope and healing during a time of great loss and uncertainty. It served as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the war, and the enduring spirit of the British people in the face of adversity. This photograph is a powerful testament to the importance of remembrance and the role of faith in providing comfort and solace during times of crisis. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the working class during World War I, and the enduring impact of their bravery and resilience on the history of England.
