Allied Heads Leon Models Powers Print Quiller Skittles Made


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Le Jeu de Quiller: Allied soldiers playing skittles" (No. 13/15), captures a moment of levity and camaraderie amidst the harsh realities of the First World War. The image, taken by the renowned French photographer Leon, depicts a group of Allied soldiers gathered around a makeshift skittles alley, their focused expressions giving way to laughter and relaxation. The skittles, however, are not the typical round objects one might expect. Instead, they have been ingeniously crafted as models of the heads of the Central Powers' leaders, including Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany and Emperor Karl I of Austria-Hungary. This clever adaptation of the traditional game serves as a testament to the soldiers' resourcefulness and their determination to find joy in the midst of adversity. The photograph, a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find moments of lightness even in the darkest of times, is an invaluable addition to any military history or World War I collection. The image, with its rich historical significance, is a must-have for scholars, educators, and anyone with an interest in the history of the Great War.
