EDITORS COMMENTS
A Unique Christmas Greeting from the Mesopotamian Front: Two Old Men of Shush, Iran, Circa 1916 This intriguing postcard, reminiscent of a bygone era, presents an unusual Christmas scene. The foreground features a World War One British soldier, dressed in full khaki uniform and holding a rifle at the ready, standing proudly with a patriotic expression. The soldier's pose exudes a sense of duty, courage, and unwavering commitment to his country. In the background, an inset view reveals the ancient city of Shush, the capital of Shush County, located in the Khuzestan Province of Iran. The city, once known as Susa in the Persian Empire, is steeped in history and rich cultural heritage. Two old men, dressed in traditional Persian garb, can be seen sitting together, seemingly deep in conversation. The men's faces are etched with the lines of age, their expressions filled with wisdom and tranquility. The old men's clothing displays the Persian and British flags, symbolizing the multicultural and colonial history of the region. The soldiers' rifle and the flags serve as reminders of the complex political landscape of the time, with the British Empire having significant influence in the Middle East during the early 20th century. This postcard, with its unique blend of history, culture, and the holiday spirit, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. It serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of the world, even during times of war and conflict. The old men's peaceful interaction with the soldier, despite the political and military tensions, underscores the importance of human connection and understanding, making this a truly captivating Christmas greeting.
