EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the rigors of World War I training camp, moments of tender affection and companionship could still be found. In this evocative photograph from circa 1917, a young soldier, clad in his military uniform complete with buttons, belt, and leather strap, takes a break from his duties to hold and cradle two adorable puppies. The soldier's expression is one of pure joy, as he savors the unconditional love and comfort provided by these loyal canine companions. The scene unfolds within the confines of a training camp, where tents and other military structures can be seen in the background. The soldiers' focus on their education and preparation for the front lines did not diminish their connection to the natural world and the simple pleasures it offered. The presence of these puppies serves as a poignant reminder of the human capacity for compassion and connection, even in the midst of war. This photograph, from The Patricia Aubrey Collection, offers a rare glimpse into the human side of the soldiers' experiences during WWI.
