EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and joy during the tumultuous period of the First World War. Taken in the idyllic setting of a garden in Cheam, Surrey, in 1916, the image features Albert Auerbach, a soldier on leave, seated between his beloved fiancée, Molly Bowie, and her mother. The trio basks in the warm sunlight, their faces radiating happiness and contentment. Albert, dressed in his military uniform, looks at Molly with tender affection, while she smiles back at him, her white dress contrasting beautifully with the lush greenery surrounding them. Mrs. Bowie, her hand resting gently on Molly's shoulder, completes the scene of a loving family, united in their joy and relief at being together. The garden, adorned with a white trellis and a quaint fence, serves as a serene backdrop to the trio. The presence of houses in the background hints at the suburban setting, offering a glimpse into the lives of those left behind during the war. The image encapsulates the spirit of hope and resilience that sustained people during the challenging times of the 1910s. This poignant photograph is a testament to the enduring power of love and family, even in the midst of war. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the historical narrative of the First World War.
