EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts a poignant moment during World War I, as soldiers huddle around a YMCA Message from the King, receiving words of encouragement and spiritual support from their monarch. The Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) played a crucial role during the war, providing essential services to soldiers at the front lines through the establishment of huts and canteens. The image captures the spirit of camaraderie and resilience among the troops, dressed in their uniforms of the time, which reflect the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The King, dressed in military attire, is seen delivering a heartfelt message to his soldiers, a testament to the deep connection between the monarchy and the military during wartime. The YMCA Message from the King program aimed to boost morale and offer a sense of home and comfort to soldiers far from their families and loved ones. The lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past and the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the enduring bond between the military and the organizations that support them, and the importance of hope and connection during times of hardship.
