EDITORS COMMENTS
This sepia-toned photograph captures a unique moment during The Anzac review on Salisbury Plain in 1916. In the midst of the chaos and camaraderie, an unexpected Australian mascot steals the spotlight. Standing tall and proud, a kangaroo becomes an emblematic figure among the soldiers from Australia and New Zealand. As war raged on, this unlikely friendship between man and marsupial provided solace amidst the horrors of battle. The kangaroo symbolized resilience, adaptability, and strength - qualities that resonated deeply with these brave troops far away from their homeland. The image showcases not only the bond between soldiers but also their ability to find comfort in unconventional companionship. With its presence, this furry friend brought moments of levity to an otherwise somber scene. Photographed by an English photographer whose identity remains unknown, this print is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. Preserved for generations to come, it serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I. Incorporating elements of both artistry and historical significance, this photograph encapsulates the spirit of unity amongst allied forces while shedding light on lesser-known aspects of life at war. It stands as a testament to humanity's capacity for connection even in times of adversity.
