EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of farewell as Albert Auerbach, a brave Soldier of the Royal Fusiliers, bids adieu to his loved ones before embarking on the perilous journey to the Western Front during the First World War. The scene unfolds on the quiet, tree-lined street of 1 Carlton Road in Ealing, West London, in the summer of 1917. Albert, dressed in his full military uniform, sits confidently atop his horse, his expression a mixture of determination and sadness. The horse, sensing the solemnity of the occasion, remains calm and obedient. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the human side of war, as Albert's family and friends gather around him, their faces etched with a mix of pride, worry, and sorrow. The soldiers of the Royal Fusiliers were renowned for their courage and discipline, and Albert was no exception. He had enlisted in the army in the early 1910s and had seen action on the battlefields of France and Belgium. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the vital role horses played in the military during the First World War. Horses were used for transportation, supply, and communication, and they played a crucial role in the movement of troops and artillery. The photograph's composition, with the horse and rider framed against the backdrop of the quiet, residential street, underscores the stark contrast between the tranquility of civilian life and the chaos and violence of the battlefield. Albert Auerbach tragically lost his life in the war in 1918, but this photograph serves as a lasting testament to his bravery and sacrifice. It is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring bonds of family and community.
