| Description | Cardinal Bourne is seen here standing on the back of a horse-drawn cart. According to the photograph's original caption, he is addressing the Dublin Fusiliers Brigade. A uniformed man sits on the bench of the cart, holding the reins. The horse is slightly out of focus due to its proximity to the camera. Visible in the background are two uniformed men, one of whom is sitting on a horse. It is an interesting photograph taken from an unusual angle by the British official war photographer, John Warwick Brooke. Regular visits to the Western Front were made by religious leaders, heads of state, members of royalty and various dignitaries throughout the war. It was considered an important way of maintaining relations and communications between those countries involved. [Original reads: 'CARDINAL BOURNE VISITS IRISH TROOPS AT THE FRONT. His Eminence addressing the Dublin Fusiliers Brigade from a cart.'] |
