EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image from 1915, a British Royal Navy sailor takes a heartfelt farewell from his wife and young son as he prepares to board a departing troop train. The sailor, dressed in his formal uniform, is seen embracing his wife with one arm while reaching out to touch his son's cheek with the other. The train, which will carry him onward to port and then to the battlefields of the First World War, looms in the background. The scene is filled with a sense of sadness and anticipation, as the sailor bids farewell to his loved ones, unsure if he will return. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by families during wartime, and the enduring bond between a husband and wife, and a father and son. This powerful photograph, taken in 1915, is a testament to the human spirit and the strength of family ties in the face of adversity.
