EDITORS COMMENTS
In the quiet moments between the deafening roar of artillery and the relentless march of war, a connection to the world left behind was forged through the simple act of sending a postcard home. In this poignant image from 1916, a German soldier, clad in his military uniform, stands with a comrade amidst the rugged terrain of the Western Front. The soldier cradles a young foal in his arms, his gentle touch a stark contrast to the harsh reality of the battlefield. The inset picture, a snapshot of a simpler time, shows the soldier and his companion with their horse, its ears perked up in curiosity as they admire the foal. The postcard, inscribed with a loving message, was likely sent to the soldier's family or sweetheart, a small reminder of the tender moments that existed even amidst the chaos of war. The image of the soldier and the foal serves as a poignant symbol of the human capacity for compassion and connection, even in the most trying of times. This powerful photograph, taken from the Mary Evans / Grenville Collins Postcard Collection, offers a glimpse into the human experience of the First World War, a time when the bonds of love and friendship transcended the boundaries of war.
