EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the tense atmosphere of the First World War, as a kilted Scottish soldier and a French sailor share a moment of unease over a pot of steaming hot 'Dogs Soup.' The dish, known as 'Soupe de Chien' or 'Dog Soup,' was a common meal during wartime due to food scarcity. However, the sight and smell of the soup, made from various meats and vegetables including dog meat, was enough to make even the hardened soldiers and sailors recoil. The British bulldog, a symbol of strength and determination, stares warily at the upturned Ulhan helmet that holds the boiling soup. The Ulhan helmet, a distinctive headgear used by the Ottoman army, lies inverted on the makeshift table, adding to the sense of unease and uncertainty. The Scottish soldier, with his kilt and rifle slung over his shoulder, and the French sailor, in his navy uniform, both look away from the soup, their faces etched with distaste. The expression on their faces speaks volumes about their feelings towards the dish, which was considered a taboo and a last resort during times of extreme hunger. This poignant image, taken during the First World War, is a powerful reminder of the harsh realities of war and the lengths people were forced to go to survive. The photograph, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the daily struggles and hardships faced by soldiers and sailors during the conflict.
