EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph from December 1914, two young soldiers, Terry and Stan, are seen standing outside the Coldwater Temperance Hotel with expressions of shock and disbelief on their faces. The soldiers, both in their military uniforms, had been billeted there for their war training in Britain. The Temperance Hotel, as the name suggests, was a teetotal establishment, meaning that it did not serve alcohol. For these two soldiers, who were likely looking forward to a quick pint after a long day of training, the discovery that their lodgings did not serve alcohol must have come as a bitter disappointment. The image is a poignant reminder of the historical context of the time, with the soldiers adjusting to the rigors of military life during the First World War. The Temperance Movement, which advocated for the total abstinence from alcohol, was at its height in Britain during this period. The soldiers' expression of dismay at the prospect of a hotel without a bar speaks to the cultural norms of the time and the challenges faced by soldiers during their training. The photograph, which measures 23 x 16 cm, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the daily lives of soldiers during the early stages of the First World War. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by the military personnel during wartime and the unique challenges they faced, both on and off the battlefield. This photograph, from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a must-have for anyone interested in military history, social history, or the Temperance Movement in Britain during the early 20th century. It is a powerful reminder of the human stories behind the history books and the enduring impact of cultural norms on everyday life.
