EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful and poignant image, Lt Col Tim Collins, commanding officer of The Royal Irish Regiment, addresses his troops on the eve of the Coalition forces' invasion of Iraq in 2003. The photograph, taken by WO2 Giles Penfound of Army Media Operations at Fort Blair Mayne Camp Commando in Kuwait, captures a moment of quiet intensity as Lt Col Collins delivers a speech to his soldiers, instilling in them a sense of purpose, camaraderie, and determination. The date was March 19, 2003, and Operation Telic, the codename for the UK's contribution to the Iraq War, was about to begin. The soldiers of The Royal Irish Regiment, along with their allies, were preparing to enter a war zone, facing an uncertain future and the possibility of danger. Lt Col Collins' words to his troops were reportedly simple yet profound, emphasizing the importance of each soldier's individual role in the larger mission, and reminding them of their shared values and commitment to one another. The photograph captures a moment of unity and focus, as the soldiers listen intently to their commander, their faces reflecting a range of emotions from determination to apprehension. The image is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, and the crucial role that leadership plays in inspiring and guiding soldiers in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the courage and resilience of the men and women who serve in the military, and the sacrifices they make in the name of their country. This photograph is part of an exhibition at the National Army Museum in London, provisionally entitled Conflict (Project: Operation TELIC), and is a powerful reminder of the events of the Iraq War and the impact it had on the soldiers who were part of it. The image is a digital photograph, taken by WO2 Penfound, and is protected by copyright.
