Aged Auerbach Autumn Fusiliers Peaked Regiment Albert Officers
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic determination of five officers of the Royal Fusiliers during the First World War, as they pose for a group portrait in September 1915. Among them is Albert Auerbach (1894-1918), who was commissioned into the regiment on 20 July of that year. The image, taken in the autumn of 1915, likely in London, captures the officers in their distinctive uniforms, complete with peaked caps and brass buttons. The young and middle-aged men, with their serious expressions and stern gazes, embody the courage and resilience of the soldiers who served during this pivotal period in world history. The First World War, also known as WWI or the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and saw the mobilization of millions of soldiers from across Europe and beyond. The Royal Fusiliers, a famous British infantry regiment with a rich history dating back to the late 17th century, played a significant role in the conflict. This photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, as well as the camaraderie and unity that could be found among the troops. Albert Auerbach, like his comrades, was a man of his time, living through one of the most tumultuous periods in history. His story, and that of his fellow officers, is a testament to the enduring spirit of those who served during the First World War.
