EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Memorial to the 34th Division, located in Mont Noir, France. Dedicated to the soldiers of the 34th (Wessex) Division who fought valiantly during the First World War, the memorial stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the conflict. The 34th Division, also known as the Wessex Division, was formed in August 1914, primarily composed of troops from the counties of Dorset, Devon, Somerset, and Wiltshire. They saw their first major action at the Battle of Ypres in October 1914, where they played a crucial role in holding the line against the German advance. The memorial, situated in the heart of Mont Noir, is surrounded by rolling hills and lush greenery, creating a serene and reflective atmosphere. The inscription on the memorial reads, "To the Glory of God and in memory of the Officers, Warrant Officers, Non-Commissioned Officers and Men of the 34th Division who fell in the Great War 1914-1918." The image, taken in 2016, shows the memorial in pristine condition, with the sun casting a warm glow over the stone structure. The poppies, a symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in war, add an extra layer of significance to the scene. The Memorial to the 34th Division at Mont Noir is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who served in the First World War. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought in the conflict and the enduring impact it had on the world.
