EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the First World War, a moment of respite and relaxation is captured in this photograph of British troops enjoying a dip in the sea at Etaples, northern France, in June 1917. The coastal town, which served as a major British military base during the war, provided a brief escape from the trenches and the horrors of the battlefield. The soldiers, some fully clothed and others naked or in their underwear, splash and laugh in the cool water, creating a scene of camaraderie and lightheartedness. The sun shines down on the group, casting a golden glow over the scene, as the men take a break from their duties and enjoy the simple pleasure of a swim in the sea. Despite the challenges and hardships of war, moments like these served as important reminders of the humanity and normalcy that still existed amidst the chaos. The image offers a poignant reminder of the soldiers' experiences beyond the battlefield, and the importance of finding joy and relaxation even in the most difficult of circumstances.
