EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the youthful spirit and determination of Albert Auerbach (1894-1918) during his time at Marlborough College in the early 1910s. The young man, dressed in the Officers Training Corps (OTC) uniform, stands confidently on a gravel path, a smile playing on his lips. The OTC uniform, complete with puttees and cap, signifies his commitment to the military training he received at the prestigious public school. Albert, a teenage boy in his early twenties, was just one of many young men who attended Marlborough College during the pre-war era. The image of him standing alone in the garden setting adds to the sense of introspection and personal growth that comes with the transition from boyhood to manhood. The photograph, taken in the 1910s, is a poignant reminder of the era before the First World War. The young men of this time were on the cusp of adulthood, preparing themselves for the challenges and responsibilities that lay ahead. For Albert and his peers, this meant not only continuing their education but also honing their physical and mental abilities through military training. The photograph, by Rights Managed from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a beautiful and evocative snapshot of a bygone era. It invites us to reflect on the experiences and aspirations of young men like Albert, who were shaping their futures against the backdrop of a world on the brink of change.
