EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and connection between British soldiers and an elderly Frenchwoman during the harsh realities of the First World War. The scene unfolds at Croix du Bac, a shabby building near Armentieres in northern France, in May 1916. The soldiers, some seated at a makeshift table, appear weary and worn, their uniforms a testament to the hardships of war. In the foreground, an old French woman serves them with steaming cups of coffee, her wrinkled face etched with the lines of age and wisdom. Her presence offers a brief reprieve from the horrors of the battlefield, a symbol of the enduring human spirit and the resilience of civilians in war-torn communities. The image is a poignant reminder of the complex and often unexpected relationships that emerged between soldiers and civilians during the Great War, and the simple pleasures that could bring moments of joy and comfort amidst the chaos and devastation.
