EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming illustration, dated 1915, captures the innocence and excitement of childhood during a time of great upheaval and uncertainty - the early years of World War I. The line of little boys, dressed in their makeshift uniforms and saluting with borrowed items, queues up outside a recruiting office. Their imaginative play reflects the patriotic spirit that swept through communities as the call to arms echoed throughout the land. The use of a variety of boxes, flags, paper hats, and other borrowed items adds to the authenticity of their soldierly appearance. Each boy, with a determined expression on his face, salutes with pride, emulating the brave soldiers who were heading off to the front. The scene is reminiscent of the iconic recruitment posters that encouraged men to enlist, but with a unique and endearing twist. The image offers a poignant reminder of the impact of war on children and families during this era. While the boys may have been too young to join the military, their desire to contribute and show their support for their country was evident in their imaginative play. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the historical significance of the First World War and the sacrifices made by those who fought in it. This illustration is a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the home front during a time of war. Its imaginative portrayal of children playing soldiers adds a touch of innocence and charm to the often grim realities of wartime.
