EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a timeless black and white format, this poignant print titled 'Military Leisure' takes us back to the 30th of July 1917. The image showcases a group of convalescing soldiers, their backs turned towards us as they watch a ladies cricket match at Hurlingham. In the aftermath of World War I, these brave British Army men find solace and respite from the horrors of war through sport and recreation. Despite their injuries or wounds, they gather under the shade of a tree, leaning on crutches for support. Their presence serves as a powerful reminder of the physical toll that war has taken on them. The scene exudes an air of camaraderie and resilience as these soldiers come together to enjoy this leisure activity on the home front. It is evident that cricket holds immense importance for them - not just as a recreational pursuit but also as an opportunity to reclaim some semblance of normalcy amidst chaos. Through this archival photograph captured by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, we are transported back in time to witness both human interest and military history intertwine. This snapshot freezes a moment where politics fade away momentarily while these army soldiers immerse themselves in the joyous spirit of sport. This print serves as both an homage to those who served during World War I and a testament to the power of leisure activities in healing wounded souls.
