EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print titled "Single Men First" captures a poignant moment during World War One, where a reluctant bachelor is being carted off by the recruitment sergeant. The regret in his eyes is palpable as he looks back at his rather smug looking sweetheart, realizing the mistake he made in jilting her.
The image serves as a stark comment on the recruitment policy of that time, which ruled that single men were to be conscripted first. In this case, it seems that the consequences of this policy are hitting home for our protagonist.
As we delve into history through this photograph taken in January 1916 by Dudley Tennant, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by young men during wartime. The emotions captured in this scene - reluctance, regret, and perhaps even resentment - speak volumes about the toll that war takes on individuals and relationships.
Through this snapshot of a moment frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where sacrifice was demanded from those least prepared to give it. It's a sobering reminder of the human cost of conflict and serves as a tribute to all those who have been affected by war throughout history.
