EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking historical image captures a recruiting sergeant's shock as he discovers that a volunteer for the Army has not only a wife but eleven children. The sergeant comments that this new recruit will cost as much as the Colonel in army pay, highlighting the financial burden of supporting such a large family while serving in the military.
Set in 1915 during World War I, this scene sheds light on the sacrifices made by individuals who answered their country's call to arms. The volunteer's decision to join the Army despite his familial responsibilities speaks volumes about his sense of duty and patriotism.
The expression on the sergeant's face conveys disbelief and perhaps even concern for how this man will manage to support his family while away at war. This poignant moment serves as a reminder of the human cost of conflict and underscores the challenges faced by those who serve in times of crisis.
Through this striking photograph, we are given a glimpse into history and reminded of the complexities and hardships faced by those who bravely step forward to defend their nation. It is a testament to both the strength and sacrifice required in times of war.
