Soldiers are shown leaving Epsom for battle on a tea towel printed to mark the centenary of the Great War.
Bourne Hall Museum’s tea towel features a photograph of the University and Public Schools Brigade taken by Mr Wakefield from Epsom Common.
Museum assistant David Brooks said: "In 1914 some 3,000 men arrived in Epsom more or less out of the blue.
"There was no camp for them and they had to be billeted in houses in Epsom and the local area.
"They began to build a huge hutted camp at Woodcote Park and in March 1915 they moved there. In May they were moved out and sent to France now forming four battalions of the Royal Fusiliers.
"They were virtually wiped out at the Battle of Delville Wood in 1916 and three of the four battalions were disbanded.
"The photograph shows them leaving Epsom on the way to France it is a sobering thought that three quarters of the soldiers in the parade would be dead in a year."
The tea towel costs £3.75 and is available from the museum in Spring Street, Ewell.
