EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the arrival of a post orderly on horseback during the final year of the First World War. Dressed in his military uniform and bearing the weight of sacks filled with letters and parcels, the soldier in charge of the management of the mail at the front brings a precious connection to the men who are far from home. The scene is set in a muddy and desolate landscape, with barbed wire fencing and military tents in the background, serving as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of war. The arrival of the post orderly was an eagerly anticipated event for the soldiers, who longed for news from their loved ones back home. Letters and parcels were a lifeline, providing much-needed morale and a sense of normalcy in the midst of the chaos and hardships of war. The post orderly's arrival on horseback was a symbol of hope and connection, a brief moment of respite from the harsh realities of the frontline. This historical photograph, taken in 1918, offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during this time, and the importance of communication and connection in maintaining the morale and wellbeing of the troops. The image also highlights the crucial role of the postal service in maintaining the link between the frontline and the home front, and the bravery and dedication of the soldiers who risked their lives to deliver the mail.
