Seven original prints of photographs of General Sir Henry Horne addressing the First Army of the British Army of the First World War at Ranchicourt in France in August 1917.

Each print is in black and white, landscape and 17.5 x 23 cm. They are lightly-worn and in fair condition. Part of a series of British official war photographs (one was published on 26 January 1918 on p. 469 of Part 180, Vol. X, of 'The Great War' magazine), and each numbered between S480 and S501. Shots of troops marching past the Chateau, of a large body of men in battledress standing in grounds, being addressed by the General and a padre, standing at a rostrum draped with the Union Flag and other allied flags, with officers seated beside it. One photograph shows a parade of men with bagpipes, and another a column of men with rifles in parade with officer saluting. A few months earlier Horne had led the First Army successfully (with the Canadian Corps to the fore) in the Battle of Vimy Ridge. See Sandall's 'History of the 5th. Batt. The Lincolnshire Regiment' (Oxford: Blackwell, 1922, p.137).
