EDITORS COMMENTS
The Experiences of a Subaltern, ordered on Active Service while on Leave". In this engraving from the 19th century, we catch a glimpse into the mixed feelings and emotions that accompany an embarkation. As the subaltern prepares to depart for active service, tears well up in his eyes as he bids farewell to his loved ones on the eve of his departure. Back home, there is a sense of both pride and concern as family members gather around him. The outfit carefully chosen for this momentous occasion hangs nearby, while a telegram lies discarded in a shed; perhaps it carries news that adds to the weight of leaving. The red sea awaits him as he sets sail towards unknown territories. His bearded face reflects determination and bravery acquired through days spent in active service with heroes from both navy and army. Letters from home find their way to him during long train rides or upon arriving at new destinations. Each letter brings joy and motivation to rejoin his comrades-in-arms. As he steps foot onto foreign soil, he finds himself immersed in unfamiliar surroundings - from Masherdonian theaters to maritime landscapes. The days pass by quickly but not without leaving lasting impressions. Amidst toothbrushes discarded for more practicality and homesickness for familiar comforts, our subaltern stands tall among fellow officers in their quarters. Puzzling expressions fill their faces as they try to decipher naval jargon or decode Bradshaw's portah schedules. From club gatherings where beards are grown with pride to elegant ball programs enjoyed by town ladies tearing up at the absence of their beloveds - these experiences shape our subaltern's journey. Through all these trials and tribulations, one thing remains constant: the cubic measurement of courage within each soldier's heart who has been ordered on active service while on leave.
