Home from the War, Tommy Atkins revisits his Native Village
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by Harry Furniss, we witness a poignant moment as Tommy Atkins returns to his native village after serving in the war. The scene is set at a grand manor house, where preparations are underway for a joyous banquet to welcome him back. As he stands amidst his companions and fellow soldiers, their arms still adorned with military regalia, there is an air of both relief and nostalgia. Tommy's eyes meet those of a young girl who gazes up at him with admiration and curiosity. Perhaps she represents the innocence that war has taken away from him, reminding him of what he fought so valiantly to protect. The old tale of homecomings is retold here; it speaks volumes about the emotional journey these brave men have endured. The image beautifully captures the contrast between the tranquility of this idyllic village and the action-packed scenes on distant battlefields. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, there remains an unbreakable bond between warriors and their homeland. As we delve deeper into this engraving, we cannot help but notice the defensive weapons displayed prominently throughout - symbols not only of protection but also reminders of past struggles. They stand as testament to Tommy's bravery and resilience during his time away. This print evokes emotions ranging from pride to longing; it encapsulates both triumphs and sacrifices made by soldiers like Tommy Atkins. It reminds us all that no matter
