EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the joy and relief of a French soldier's homecoming from the front lines of World War I in 1916, an unexpected and unwelcome surprise awaited his family. The soldier, weary from battle and covered in the dust and grime of the trenches, carried with him unseen passengers - an infestation of fleas. As the soldier embraced his wife and children, the tiny pests scampered from his uniform, beginning their rampage throughout the household. The family's beloved pet parrot and dogs soon became victims of the flea menace, adding to the chaos and discomfort. The itching and scratching that followed were a constant reminder of the soldier's recent departure. The once peaceful home was now overrun with the itchy intruders, leaving the family to endure sleepless nights and days filled with relentless irritation. The soldier, filled with regret and concern for his loved ones, vowed to take care of the infestation as soon as possible. He spent the following days treating the home and his family with every available remedy, determined to rid them of their unwelcome guests. Despite the initial setback, the soldier's return brought joy and hope to his family during the trying times of the war. The fleas, though a small and seemingly insignificant hardship, served as a reminder of the harsh realities of life on the front lines and the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War.
