Set in the elegant Combe Bank House, nestled amidst the picturesque surroundings of Combe Bank Road in Sundridge With Ide Hill, Sevenoaks, Kent, it offers a glimpse into the lives of brave soldiers during World War I. In this poignant image, members of the Lancashire Regiment are seen gathered around a beautifully adorned table for their Christmas meal. The festive spirit is palpable as these courageous men take respite from their duties to enjoy a moment of camaraderie and indulgence. Their faces reflect both weariness and joy as they savor every bite of food and sip of drink.
