EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quietude of a small French room during the tumultuous year of 1917, a soldier, resplendent in his uniform and adorned with a myriad of medals, takes a well-deserved break from the horrors of the First World War. The room, adorned with a patterned wallpaper and filled with the comforting scent of oranges, becomes a sanctuary for the weary soldier. As he rests, a woman, likely his wife or sweetheart, approaches him, her eyes filled with admiration and pride. She gently touches one of the medals, her expression one of awe and reverence. However, in the corner of the room, the soldier's husband, clad in civilian attire, watches the scene unfold with a mixture of envy and contempt. He too has medals, but they are not the decorative accolades earned on the battlefield. Instead, they are coins, symbols of the wealth he has amassed through shrewd business dealings during the war. The husband's thoughts are hidden behind a mask of indifference, but the disparity between the soldier's heroism and his own financial gains cannot be ignored. This poignant cartoon, created in 1917, captures the complexities of the human condition during wartime. It highlights the contrasting experiences of soldiers and civilians, the sacrifices made on the battlefield and the profits reaped at home. The image serves as a reminder of the enduring impact of war on individuals and families, and the often unseen sacrifices that come with the pursuit of victory.
