EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of Christmas jollity at the Shakspere Hut, one of the numerous YMCA huts erected in London during the First World War. The huts provided essential rest, food, and temporary accommodation for soldiers passing through the capital, offering a much-needed respite from the harsh realities of the battlefield. In this bustling scene, soldiers gather around the festively decorated tree, their faces filled with joy and excitement. The atmosphere is one of merriment and camaraderie, with men laughing, chatting, and enjoying the entertainment provided. The presence of Father Christmas, played by none other than renowned artist Fortunino Matania, adds an extra touch of magic to the occasion. The Christmas party was organised by Lady Forbes-Robertson and Mrs Matthias, who ensured every man received a gift, bringing a sense of hope and happiness during the dark days of the war. The soldiers, many of whom were on leave from the front lines, savoured every moment of this festive reprieve. The Shakspere Hut, located in London, became a symbol of the enduring spirit of Christmas and the importance of providing comfort and entertainment to those serving their country. This photograph, taken in 1917, stands as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the power of community and kindness to bring joy and happiness even in the most challenging of times.
