EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for five British soldiers during the tumultuous events of the Western Front in 1918. The scene is set behind a makeshift barricade, constructed from wooden planks and topped with A.S.C. (Army Service Corps) oat bags. The soldiers, huddled around a small fire, share cigarettes and momentarily forget the horrors of war that surround them. One soldier breaks the tranquility with the casual pointing of his rifle over the barricade. The photograph is part of a collection of 193 official images taken during World War One on the Western Front. The image is mounted on card and carries its original caption, providing a glimpse into the past and offering a poignant reminder of the experiences of the soldiers during this pivotal period in history. The photograph is not to be confused with any company or commercial use, and is protected by rights managed licensing through Mary Evans Prints Online. The image is a poignant reminder of the human side of war, and the simple pleasures that soldiers sought in the midst of the chaos and destruction of the battlefield.
