EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and turmoil of the First World War, moments of love and connection continued to resonate deeply for soldiers and civilians alike. This poignant French postcard, dated between 1914 and 1918, captures the tender embrace of a soldier and his sweetheart. The man, dressed in the uniform of a French infantryman, wears the insignia of the Régiment de Marche de Rennes on his collar. His sweetheart, clad in an elegant orange dress, gazes up at him with a loving expression. The background of the postcard is adorned with images of tanks and other military machinery, serving as a stark reminder of the war that separated them. Despite the hardships and dangers of the battlefield, the soldier holds his sweetheart close, offering her a gentle and reassuring kiss on the neck. The image is a poignant representation of the enduring power of love and connection, even in the darkest of times. The postcard, now a precious relic of history, stands as a testament to the human spirit and the resilience of love during the First World War.
