To My Dear One - A Drummer's Poetic Expression of Love in the Chaos of WWI
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the deafening sounds of war drums and gunfire, the quieter rhythm of love resonated within the heart of this unnamed British drummer. In the midst of the First World War's chaos, he found solace in the steady beat of his magnificent bass drum, using it as a makeshift writing stand to pen heartfelt verses to his beloved. The year was 1918, and the poignant words he wrote were a testament to the enduring power of love, even in the most trying of times. "Though from your side I am away; My thoughts are with you night and day; With eyes of love your face I see; And know that you are true to me," he wrote, the ink flowing effortlessly from his pen as his heart swelled with emotion. The drummer's words were imbued with a deep romanticism, a longing for the comfort and companionship of his beloved. The verses were a poignant reminder that even in the midst of war, love remained a constant force, a beacon of hope and comfort. The image of the drummer composing his poem, with the backdrop of the war-torn landscape, serves as a poignant reminder of the human spirit's resilience and capacity for love, even in the most challenging of circumstances. This powerful and evocative photograph captures the essence of the human experience during WWI, a time when love and hope shone brightly amidst the darkness and despair.
