EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back in time to the year 1916, amidst the chaos of World War I. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers belonging to the Sheffield Army Service Corps, their faces etched with determination and resilience. These valiant men proudly display their name plaque, "The Blades" which undoubtedly symbolizes their unwavering strength and unity. Sheffield, located in Yorkshire, played a significant role during this tumultuous period in history. As an industrial city renowned for its steel production, it was only fitting that these soldiers were associated with such a powerful emblem as "The Blades". Their commitment to serving their country is evident through every line on their faces and every button on their uniforms. Preserved meticulously from an original at Sheffield Libraries (p01004), this print serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. It stands as a testament to the bravery and selflessness exhibited by those who fought tirelessly for peace and freedom. As we gaze upon these solemn faces frozen in time, let us remember not only the soldiers themselves but also the countless others who supported them behind-the-scenes – families torn apart by war, communities rallying together in solidarity. This photograph encapsulates both the spirit of camaraderie within the Army Service Corps and pays homage to all those affected by one of humanity's darkest chapters – World War I.
