EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming and humorous photograph captures the essence of childhood innocence during wartime, as four young boys play at being soldiers in 'The Officers Mess' around the year 1915. Dressed in makeshift military uniforms, complete with tatty hats and swords, the boys appear to be anything but disciplined or serious soldiers. Instead, they are seen lounging about, eating, drinking, and generally making a mess of the wooden table spread with paper and crumbs. The boys' scruffy appearance and unruly behavior contrast sharply with the formal image often associated with the military. Despite their un-soldier-like mannerisms, the boys' enthusiasm and imagination are evident in their play. One boy swigs from a bottle, another wipes his greasy face with a napkin, while a third leans back in his chair, a smirk on his face. The fourth boy, with a sword in hand, seems to be leading the group in their mischievous antics. The setting of the photograph further adds to its appeal, with the dimly lit room and worn-out furniture creating an authentic and nostalgic atmosphere. The boys' playful scene in 'The Officers Mess' serves as a reminder of the resilience and creativity of children, even during the most challenging of times.
