EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative group photograph captures the officers of the 1st City of London Regiment, Royal Fusiliers, during the autumn of 1915. The scene is set at Peckham Rye in SE London, with the men dressed in their distinctive uniforms adorned with peaked caps. Among them is Albert Auerbach (1894-1918), who can be seen in the back row, fourth from the left. Albert was commissioned into the regiment on 20 July 1915, marking the beginning of his military service during World War I. The young and middle-aged men in this photograph embody the spirit of duty and sacrifice that defined the wartime era. Their uniforms, with their meticulously pressed creases and polished buttons, reflect the pride and discipline instilled in the soldiers of the Royal Fusiliers. The 1910s were a pivotal decade in world history, with the Great War shaping the lives of millions. This photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these officers, who were preparing to answer the call to the front lines. Albert Auerbach, like his comrades, would soon join the ranks of the brave men and women who fought valiantly during this tumultuous period. This image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the military during World War I. It serves as a testament to their unwavering commitment to their country and their comrades, and to the enduring legacy of the Royal Fusiliers.
