EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the early 1900s, offering a glimpse into the camaraderie and leisurely moments of the Sergeants Mess at Caterham Army Training School in Surrey, England. The scene is filled with an air of relaxation as soldiers engage in various activities to unwind from their duties. In this snapshot frozen by Reinhold Thiele's lens, we see a group of male soldiers engrossed in different pastimes. Some are deeply immersed in reading books, perhaps escaping momentarily from the rigors of military life. Others gather around a tabletop for an intense card game, their faces reflecting both concentration and friendly competition. In another corner, billiards cues are poised mid-air as two sergeants prepare to take their shots on the green baize table. The composition exudes nostalgia and evokes a sense of brotherhood among these servicemen who found solace within these walls. It serves as a reminder that even amidst strict military training, there were precious moments where bonds were forged through shared interests and downtime activities. Reinhold Thiele's masterful capture transports us back to this bygone era when simplicity reigned supreme. Through his lens, he immortalizes not only the physical space but also the intangible spirit that thrived within those walls—the spirit of unity, relaxation, and respite from duty's demands.
