EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant image from the early days of World War I, German soldiers bid farewell to their loved ones as the train carrying them to the front lines departs from the station. The date is 1914, and the soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and carrying their gear, are seen waving and blowing kisses to their wives, children, parents, and friends. The scene is one of both determination and sadness, as these men know that they may not return from the battlefield. The railway, a symbol of modernity and progress, has become a conveyor of war and separation. The image captures the human side of the conflict, reminding us that behind every soldier was a family left behind, waiting and hoping for their safe return. This powerful photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the profound impact it had on the lives of individuals and families across Europe.
