EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of knowledge transfer between the past and the future of military communication during the First World War. Colonel Ashley, dressed in his full military regalia, stands before a group of Chelsea Pensioners, each clad in their iconic red coats and tricorn hats. The setting, a training ground during the early 1910s, is a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict that had engulfed Europe since 1914. Colonel Ashley, with a determined expression, demonstrates modern signal methods to the elderly veterans. The use of advanced communication techniques, such as semaphore flags and heliographs, was crucial in the rapidly evolving battlefields of the Great War. The Colonel's earnest demeanor and the rapt attention of the Chelsea Pensioners underscore the importance of this training session. The scene is a poignant reminder of the enduring spirit of the military, where the old guard passes on their wisdom to the new. The photograph, taken from The John Barrett Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into the wartime era and the vital role that communication played in the conduct of military operations during the First World War.
