EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the spirit of camaraderie and respite from the harsh realities of the First World War. Four young men, including Harold Auerbach, who is identified in his military uniform on the right, are seen enjoying a leisurely rowing session on the tranquil waters of the River Thames in Oxford, circa 1917. The serene setting of the scene starkly contrasts with the tumultuous events unfolding on the battlefields of Europe. Harold Auerbach, a promising young man, was undergoing training with the Royal Flying Corps, one of the most advanced military aviation forces during the war. The other three men in the photograph are not identified, but their relaxed demeanor suggests that they too may have been taking a break from their military duties. The use of a rowing boat as a mode of transport during the war was not uncommon. The British military employed rowing boats for various purposes, including the transportation of supplies and personnel across rivers and waterways. However, this photograph offers a rare glimpse into the private moments of these young men, away from the rigors of military life. The image is a poignant reminder of the human side of the war, showcasing the resilience and determination of the soldiers who fought in the Great War. The 1910s were a pivotal decade in world history, and this photograph offers a unique insight into the lives of these young men during a time of great upheaval and change.
