EDITORS COMMENTS
Indian soldiers attending to their personal grooming, amidst the chaos of war. In this print captured by Horace Grant in September 1914, we witness a moment of respite for the brave warriors of the 3rd Lahore Indian Division. Stationed at their rest camp on the race course at Marseilles during World War One, these men take a brief pause from conflict to attend to their toilet and appearance. With rifles slung over their shoulders and uniforms donned with pride, these soldiers display an unwavering dedication to duty even in times of relative calm. Their attention turns towards combing and twisting their hair into traditional buns, showcasing not only a sense of discipline but also an embrace of cultural identity amidst foreign lands. The image serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst the horrors of war on the Western Front in France, humanity's need for self-care endures. It is through such simple acts that these men find solace and maintain a semblance of normalcy amid extraordinary circumstances. Horace Grant's photograph captures both the vulnerability and strength inherent within each soldier as they navigate an unfamiliar landscape far from home. This snapshot transports us back to a pivotal era in history when nations clashed yet individuals found ways to preserve dignity and tradition against all odds.
