EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative front cover image from The Illustrated War News, dated 1916, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of Canadian soldiers on the Western Front during World War I. The photograph captures a moment of respite as soldiers take a break from the harsh realities of trench warfare to enjoy their meagre rations and a hot cup of tea. The sandbags and sand, which served as crucial protection against enemy fire, are a stark reminder of the treacherous conditions these brave men faced on a daily basis. The image is a poignant testament to the enduring camaraderie and resilience of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, who fought valiantly against overwhelming odds. This powerful image offers a unique and poignant perspective on the human side of the war, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this pivotal period in world history.
