EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and hardships of the Western Front during World War I, a weary British soldier takes a moment to escape the realities of war and indulge in sweet dreams of home. Circa 1918, this comic postcard depicts a soldier, clad in his khaki uniform and holding a rifle with a bayonet attached, as he dozes off in a peaceful slumber. His dream, brought to life in vivid detail, is illustrated with a charming scene of a cozy cottage, complete with a thatched roof, a garden, and a loving girlfriend waiting on the porch. The light-hearted and humorous touch of this postcard, created by renowned Canadian artist Donald McGill, serves as a poignant reminder of the longing and hope that sustained soldiers during the long and arduous war years. With a blend of wit and nostalgia, this postcard offers a glimpse into the human side of the war experience.
