LOCAL HISTORY MUSEUM MATTERS Thousands of horses… During the closure of the museum due to Covid, we were able to catch up on many tasks and it was while we were checking the contents of a store cupboard that we came across a box of photographs - 800 in total. They are official images passed by the War Office for transmission abroad, depicting every aspect of the horrors between 1914-1918 and include many of the Western Front in France, Mesopotamia, Belgium, naval activities, nursing and much, much more. I was staggered at the number of horses in the pictures – thousands and thousands. The photographs needed some conservation work and we were able to secure a grant from the Museums Association. This has allowed us to store them in acid free sleeves and storage boxes. A group of volunteers packaged each photograph individually recording all the information known about it. Enquiries at the Imperial War Museum suggest our collection is not ABOVE: Cavalry in training on the British Western Front in France. unique but well worth conserving as a collection of Official WWI images. I will just mention that while talking to the museum, someone dropped into the conversation that their collection consists of 11 million photographs! When we get to November this year and the Remembrance Day Parade to the War Memorial, the photographs will be on display for the public to view in the Vestry Hall from 10am – 3pm. Please do make a note to come and have a look at this extraordinary collection which we have been able to rescue and conserve. Mike Huxley The Cake • Summer 2022 29
