Title:Winston Churchill inspecting Canadian troops, during World War I
Permanent URL:http://digital.nls.uk/74548564
Description:Untitled.This photograph was taken with a wide lens to allow the whole scene to be captured. The photographer responsible for the image, however, is not known. Troops wearing 'Mountie-style' hats are parading in lines which make a star shape. They are being watched by men on horses further up the hill. They are detached from the action and surrounded by flag bearers. There is no original caption attached to the back of this photograph. It is, however, one of a series and luckily there is a pencilled note written on the back of one of them. This reveals that Winston Churchill is inspecting Canadian troops. The propaganda value of this scene is immense. Not only does it address international relations and the bonding of two allies, it also emphasises the arrival of 'new blood'.
