EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases the first page of a letter dated 3rd February 1916, penned by Albert Auerbach from the Camp Wardan military base in Egypt during World War I. Auerbach, an officer in the esteemed Royal Fusiliers regiment, addresses his letter to his beloved sister, Lucy. The letterhead bears the distinctive insignia and address of the regiment's London headquarters. The handwriting on the page exudes the sincerity and warmth of a brother's affectionate greeting to his sister, as he shares news of his experiences in the Middle East. The ink, now slightly faded with time, reveals the dedication and care with which Albert crafted each word, ensuring that his sister remained connected to him despite the vast distance that separated them. As a soldier stationed in Egypt, Albert's days were filled with the rigors of military life, yet the thought of his family, particularly his sister, provided him with a source of comfort and strength. The letter serves as a poignant reminder of the human connection that transcended the chaos and uncertainty of the war. The image offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the depth of emotion and resilience that defined the lives of those who lived through the tumultuous 1910s, particularly during the First World War. This letter, penned by Albert Auerbach, stands as a testament to the enduring bond between siblings and the power of words to bridge the gaps created by war and distance.
