EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as Officers Training Corps (OTC) cadets from St Paul's School in London undergo rigorous training at Barn Hill, Chingford, in December 1915. The young boys, clad in their distinctive military uniforms, are seen engaged in various drills and exercises under the watchful eyes of older, experienced men. The OTC was an essential part of the British military education system during the early 20th century, providing young men with essential military training and discipline. The outbreak of the First World War accelerated the importance of such organizations, as thousands of young men were called upon to serve their country. The photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these teenage boys, who were likely students at St Paul's School in London before being called up for military service. The older men, many of whom may have been veterans of previous conflicts or reservists, played a crucial role in preparing the younger generation for the challenges of war. The scene at Barn Hill, Chingford, was a common sight during the wartime years, as schools and organizations across the country rallied to support the war effort. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by young people during the First World War, as they left behind their studies and familiar surroundings to answer the call to arms. The photograph, taken in 1915, is a testament to the resilience and determination of those who served during the First World War. It also highlights the importance of military education and the role it played in shaping the lives of young people during a time of great upheaval and change.
