EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures the emotional moment of an American soldier, Sammy, bidding farewell to his family as he prepares to join the war effort in Europe during World War I in 1918. The historical image, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, depicts Sammy's wife giving him a tearful kiss, while their young son holds a rifle in front of the American flag. The scene is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by families during times of war. The United States joined the war in 1917, following the intervention of other world powers in Europe. This image, taken likely in the year of America's entry into the war, captures the raw emotions and the sense of duty that drove men to leave their loved ones behind to fight. The image also highlights the role of children in the war effort, with the young son holding a rifle and seemingly taking on a sense of responsibility. The daughter's tears add to the emotional intensity of the scene, as she watches her father leave, unsure of when she will see him again. The flag, a symbol of the country and its values, stands tall in the background, serving as a reminder of the cause for which Sammy and countless other soldiers were fighting. This photograph is a poignant snapshot of history, offering a glimpse into the personal stories of the men and women who lived through the tumultuous events of World War I. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by families during times of war and the enduring power of love and duty.
