EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, Mike St. Maur Sheil, a renowned British photographer, stands proudly at the pre-launch exhibition of "Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace 14-18" held at the Houses of Parliament in London. The exhibition, which marked the centenary of the First World War, showcased St. Maur Sheil's poignant and powerful images that captured the historical significance of the battlefields of the Great War and the peaceful landscapes that have since emerged. Dressed in a smart suit and tie, St. Maur Sheil holds up a football, a poignant reminder of the Loos football, which was discovered in the trenches of the Battle of Loos in 1915. The football, inscribed with the name "Bradford City A.F.C.", became a symbol of hope and humanity amidst the horrors of war. The photographer's expressive face and intense gaze convey a deep sense of emotion and connection to the history he has documented. The backdrop of the ornate and historic surroundings of the Houses of Parliament adds to the significance of the moment, highlighting the importance of preserving the past and remembering the sacrifices made during the First World War. St. Maur Sheil's "Fields of Battle, Lands of Peace 14-18" exhibition was a powerful and moving tribute to the history of the First World War, and this photograph captures the essence of the project - the juxtaposition of the past and the present, the horrors of war and the enduring power of hope and humanity.
