EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a summer day in 1987, where two young brothers, David and Steven Brown, eagerly explore the depths of history at the Cleveland Museum. Despite being decades away from experiencing the horrors of the First World War themselves, their enthusiasm for learning shines through as they don tin hats and gas masks. At ages ten and seven respectively, these boys embody an insatiable thirst for knowledge. Their visit to Kirkleatham Hall Museum near Redcar proves that education knows no bounds when it comes to age or time period. As they stand side by side in their makeshift war gear, one can't help but be reminded of the resilience and bravery displayed by those who fought during WW1. The museum's double display about the Great War undoubtedly leaves a lasting impression on these young minds. It serves as a poignant reminder that history should never be forgotten nor taken for granted. The juxtaposition between innocence and conflict captured within this image is both striking and thought-provoking. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also symbolizes the importance of preserving our past for future generations. Through displays like these, museums play a vital role in educating individuals about significant events that have shaped our world. As we gaze upon this snapshot from yesteryear, let us remember that curiosity has no age limit and that even children can find fascination amidst relics of war.
