EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of relief and anticipation experienced by soldiers during their fourteen days leave from the trenches of World War I. Taken at a European train station during the Great War, the image shows a group of soldiers huddled around a money changing box, exchanging their French currency into English notes. The scene is reminiscent of the bustling activity that would have taken place at train stations during this time, as soldiers made their way home to reunite with their families and loved ones. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their belongings, appear focused and determined as they complete this essential task before continuing their journey. The presence of the 1st Bureau de Change sign above the box adds a sense of official authenticity to the scene. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during World War I, and the importance of the support systems that helped them during their time away from the front lines. The changing of money, a seemingly mundane task, becomes a symbol of the larger logistical efforts that enabled soldiers to return home and recharge before returning to the battlefield.
