EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the hallowed halls of a French chateau on the Western Front during World War One, the names of three brave British soldiers are etched in eternal glory. The Roll of Honour, proudly displayed on the wall, bears the names of Fleming-Sands, Hallowes, and Bennett, each of whom were bestowed with the highest military decoration, the Victoria Cross. The Victoria Cross, established in 1856, is the most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to a member of the British Armed Forces. These three soldiers, whose names now grace the ancient stone walls of this French chateau, had demonstrated exceptional courage and selflessness in the heat of battle. Fleming-Sands, Hallowes, and Bennett were not just names on a list, but real men who had put their lives on the line for their country. Their stories of heroism are a testament to the unwavering spirit of the soldiers who fought on the Western Front during the Great War. The year was circa 1916, and the war raged on, claiming countless lives. Yet, amidst the chaos and destruction, the Roll of Honour stood as a symbol of hope and inspiration, a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and the values they fought for. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time, to a moment of pride and honor, a moment that transcends the boundaries of war and time. The Roll of Honour in the hall of this French chateau serves as a poignant reminder of the valor and heroism displayed by soldiers like Fleming-Sands, Hallowes, and Bennett during the First World War.
