EDITORS COMMENTS
We Pray for You: A Touching Patriotic German Postcard from the WWI Era During the tumultuous years of the First World War, the exchange of letters and postcards between soldiers at the front and their loved ones back home served as a vital source of comfort and connection. This poignant postcard, titled "We Pray for You," is a poignant example of the deep emotions and enduring love that transcended the harsh realities of war. Circa 1916, this German postcard was sent from a devoted wife to her husband serving on the front lines. The image portrays a mother and her young son, both dressed in their finest, standing before a border of blue forget-me-nots. The flowers, a symbol of remembrance and fidelity, serve as a powerful reminder of the love and support that remained constant despite the distance and danger. The title, "We Pray for You," adds a layer of depth to the image, conveying the hope and faith that the sender held for her husband's safe return. The uniformed soldier, though absent from the scene, is present in spirit, as the love and prayers of his family fueled his courage and determination. This touching postcard stands as a testament to the resilience and patriotism of the German people during the WWI era. The image, filled with symbolism and emotion, offers a glimpse into the personal stories of those affected by the war and the enduring power of love and connection.
