EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the harsh realities of the First World War, moments of levity and curiosity could still be found. In this silhouette from 1915, a British soldier, in full uniform, takes a peaceful respite on a park bench sandwiched between two ladies. The serene scene is interrupted by the inquisitive nature of a young, eager child. Dressed in his best attire and holding a pair of binoculars, the child politely asks, "Would you mind moving your arm just a minute please: I do want to see if you're a sergeant." The soldier, with a gentle smile, obliges the young enthusiast, granting him a brief moment of excitement and connection to the war effort. This charming silhouette offers a glimpse into the human side of the First World War, where even in the midst of conflict, life continued to unfold in the most unexpected ways. The ladies, dressed in their finest, seem to be enjoying the soldier's company, adding another layer of complexity to this poignant and humorous scene.
