EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases an envelope from the past, bearing the faded ink of a letter sent from the Western Front during World War I. Dated 29th January 1915, the envelope was dispatched from Ormerod Maxwell Ayrton, a renowned architect and artist, to his uncle Alfred Ayrton at Lloyds Bank in Chester, England. Ormerod was serving at Firminy, near Dunkirk, with the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and His Majesty's Airship Squadron (HMA) No.17. The envelope's exterior holds a poignant snapshot of history, with the sender's handwriting neatly scrawled across the front, "A. Ayrton Esq., Lloyds Bank, Chester." The envelope bears the unmistakable signs of having been passed through the hands of many – the rubber stamp of the censor's approval, the meticulously placed stamp, and the carefully folded creases. Ormerod's letter, tucked safely within, would have brought a sense of comfort and connection to Alfred during the trying times of the war. The image of this envelope, with its worn edges and historical significance, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First Great War and the enduring bond between family members, no matter the distance or circumstances.
