This evocative photograph captures the Northern entrance to Waterloo Station in London, with a focus on the Memorial Arch dedicated to the employees of the London & South Western Railway Company who made the ultimate sacrifice during the First World War. The arch, unveiled by Queen Mary on March 21, 1922, stands as a poignant reminder of the human cost of the conflict. The intricately designed arch is adorned with the names of the fallen employees, their sacrifice immortalized in stone for all commuters and visitors to see. The arch serves as a testament to the railway workers who kept the transport network running during the war, despite the personal risks they faced. The image, taken circa 1923, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the railway was a vital lifeline for the city and the country. The Memorial Arch at Waterloo Station continues to be a powerful symbol of remembrance, standing proudly as a reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War.
