EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, a moment of peace and tranquility is captured in this poignant photograph. Circa 1916, a Canadian Mountie, clad in his iconic red serge uniform and Stetson hat, stands proudly with his two young children. The boy, dressed in a small suit and holding a toy soldier, gazes up at his father with admiration and awe. The girl, in a pretty dress and holding a bouquet of flowers, smiles sweetly at the camera. The Mountie, with a gentle expression on his face, tenderly holds the hands of his offspring, creating a heartwarming tableau. The First World War, which began in 1914, saw the deployment of thousands of Canadian soldiers to the European front. Many families were left behind, enduring the hardships of wartime while their loved ones were away. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the importance of family and love in even the most challenging of times. The Canadian Mounties, also known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), were an integral part of the Canadian military during the war. They provided various services, including transportation, communication, and law enforcement, both at home and abroad. Despite their military duties, they remained dedicated to their families and communities, as evidenced by this heartfelt image.
