EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print by H.L. Oakley, entitled 'Scenes in Silhouette: The Entente Cordiale in Action,' captures the spirit of unity and camaraderie among the Allied forces during World War One. The image depicts several poignant moments where British soldiers extended a helping hand to their allies in Belgium, France, Italy, and America. In the first scene, British soldiers from the Royal Army Service Corps (R.A.S.C) are seen transporting villagers from a ruined Belgian village, symbolizing the humanitarian efforts of the British military. In another scene, a divisional commander stands proudly with the mayor of a relieved French town, taking the salute of a passing battalion. This powerful image represents the successful liberation of French territory from German control. The print also showcases the camaraderie between British and Italian soldiers, as British troops assist local ladies at a well. Lastly, the image portrays the budding friendship between British and American soldiers behind the lines, as they share a moment of relaxation and connection. These scenes, captured in silhouette, serve as a poignant reminder of the unity and cooperation among the Allied forces during World War One, as they worked together to achieve a common goal. The print, dated 1919, is a testament to the enduring historical significance of the Entente Cordiale and the sacrifices made by soldiers from various nations during this global conflict.
