EDITORS COMMENTS
My Magazine Cover: A British Infantry Soldier in Profile, 1918 Amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the First World War, the image of a lone British infantryman, marching steadfastly with a determined gaze, came to symbolize the unwavering spirit of the Tommies – the common soldiers of the British Army. This evocative cover of My Magazine, a children's title published in 1918, captures the essence of that indomitable spirit. The soldier, dressed in the iconic khaki uniform, carries a rifle slung over his shoulder, while a fixed bayonet glints menacingly in the sunlight. His determined profile, set against the backdrop of a muddy battlefield, speaks volumes of the courage and resilience required to endure the horrors of the Great War. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the British soldiers during the First World War. It also offers a glimpse into the daily life of a soldier, with his weary expression and the grime on his face, highlighting the harsh realities of the battlefield. The cover of My Magazine, with its powerful and evocative imagery, offers a unique insight into the history of the First World War and the role of the British infantry soldier. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Tommies, whose courage and determination continue to inspire generations.
