EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a unique moment during the First World War, as Christmas ducks perform a goose-step routine for the amusement of British soldier, Mr. Atkins, in 1915. Amidst the harsh realities of the Western Front, this light-hearted scene offers a rare glimpse into the human side of soldiers' experiences during the conflict. The First World War, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and saw millions of soldiers from around the world fight in a brutal and devastating war. Despite the hardships and danger, moments of levity and camaraderie were not uncommon. In this image, a group of Christmas ducks, likely kept as pets or mascots, entertain Mr. Atkins with their goose-step performance. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and holding their rifles, watch on with amusement. The ducks, with their webbed feet perfectly synchronized, seem to mimic the distinctive marching gait of the German soldiers, known for their goose-step march. This photograph, taken by an unknown photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a poignant reminder of the humanity and resilience that existed even in the most challenging of circumstances. It also highlights the role of animals in providing comfort and companionship to soldiers during the war.
