EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Rex King, we are transported back to the harrowing days of World War One on the Western Front. The image depicts a group of brave British machine gunners fearlessly firing their weapons amidst the chaos of war. Their faces etched with determination, they stand united in their mission to defend their comrades and push forward against all odds. But what truly sets this photograph apart is the explosive moment frozen in time just before them - a mine detonating mere feet away from where they stand. The sheer power and devastation unleashed by this unexpected blast is evident in every detail; debris flying through the air, smoke billowing ominously, and yet these soldiers remain steadfast. Taken during a live firing exercise at a machine gun school located just behind enemy lines, this image serves as a poignant reminder of the immense courage displayed by those who fought during WWI. It encapsulates both the relentless training undertaken by troops preparing for battle and the ever-present danger that lurked around every corner on the frontlines. Rex King's photograph not only captures an extraordinary moment but also pays tribute to all those who served during one of history's most brutal conflicts. As we gaze upon it today, let us remember their sacrifice and honor their unwavering commitment to preserving freedom in times of darkness.
