EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of determination and resolve among the ranks of the 10th East Yorkshire Regiment, also known as the Hull Commercials, as they march towards the trenches near Doullens, northern France, in 1916. The First World War was a defining moment in world history, and this image offers a poignant glimpse into the experiences of the British soldiers who fought in it. The East Yorkshire Regiment, raised in the city of Hull and its surrounding areas, was an infantry regiment of the British Army that saw action on the Western Front. The soldiers in this photograph, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, are focused on the task at hand, their expressions revealing a mixture of apprehension and determination. The muddy terrain and ominous sky add to the sense of urgency and the harsh realities of war. The Hull Commercials earned their nickname due to the large number of men from commercial and industrial backgrounds who joined the regiment. This photograph serves as a reminder of the diverse range of individuals who answered the call to serve their country in a time of crisis. The image also highlights the camaraderie and unity that existed among the soldiers, as they marched together towards an uncertain future. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the East Yorkshire Regiment and the British Army during the First World War. It is a testament to their courage, resilience, and the enduring bond of comradeship that sustained them through the challenges of the battlefield.
