EDITORS COMMENTS
Commandeered" is a charming and humorous postcard by the renowned British illustrator, Lawson Wood, depicting a lighthearted moment during the early days of World War 1. The image captures the unexpected encounter between two stern-looking British soldiers and a young, well-dressed lad on a bustling street. The soldiers, clad in their distinctive uniforms, have commandeered the boy's prized wooden toy horse, much to the dismay of the crestfallen child. The soldiers, with their determined expressions and purposeful strides, seem oblivious to the little boy's tears and protests. The sailor, with a white hat perched on his head, holds the horse by the reins, while the Tommy soldier, with a tommy gun slung over his shoulder, secures the horse's legs with a rope. The boy, dressed in a neat suit, looks on in disbelief and frustration, his face contorted with emotion. The wooden horse, with its intricate details and expressive features, adds to the humor and nostalgia of the scene. The image, with its vivid colors and meticulous attention to detail, transports us back to a time of innocence and uncertainty, when the world was turned upside down by the onset of war. Lawson Wood's "Commandeered" is a testament to the enduring power of humor and the human spirit, even in the face of adversity. The postcard, with its timeless appeal and historical significance, is a must-have for anyone with an interest in British history, military history, or simply a love for a good laugh.
