EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the tumultuous era of World War One. The image showcases a remarkable sight in Fitzalan Square, Sheffield, circa 1917. Standing tall and proud is a formidable Mark IV male tank named Nelson, adorned with training number 130. This war machine serves as an extraordinary backdrop for an important cause - selling bonds for the National War Savings Committee. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the fusion of military might and civic duty. The tank's imposing presence symbolizes the strength and resilience of our armed forces during this global conflict. Meanwhile, dedicated individuals can be seen diligently engaging with passersby, passionately advocating for citizens to invest in war bonds. Fitzalan Square itself becomes a bustling hub of activity; its city center transformed into a stage where patriotism meets commerce. Amidst the chaos of war, this photograph encapsulates both hope and determination as communities unite to support their troops on the front lines. Preserved by Sheffield Libraries' extensive collection, this rare glimpse into history reminds us of the sacrifices made by previous generations while inspiring gratitude for our present-day peace. Let us cherish these archival treasures that connect us intimately with past events and honor those who fought valiantly for freedom and justice on behalf of future generations.
