EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative envelope, postmarked on the 15th and 16th of March 1916, bears the handwritten address of Miss L Auerbach, London, England, and the return address of Albert Auerbach, 1st Royal Fusiliers, Camp Wardan, Egypt. The envelope provides a poignant glimpse into the past, offering a tangible connection to the First World War era. During this time, Albert Auerbach, an officer in the esteemed Royal Fusiliers regiment, was stationed in Egypt. The Middle East was a significant theater of war for the British forces during WWI, with the Royal Fusiliers playing a crucial role in the campaign against the Ottoman Empire. The handwritten address on the envelope, penned by Albert himself, reveals the close bond between him and his sister, Lucy. The simple yet heartfelt message, "From your loving brother," speaks volumes about the deep affection and concern shared between the siblings. The envelope's age, with its faded ink and worn edges, adds to its historical significance. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the Great War. This unique piece of history offers a glimpse into the lives of the Auerbach family during the early 1910s, providing a personal connection to the larger historical narrative of WWI. The envelope's journey from Egypt to London is a testament to the enduring bonds of family and the human spirit that persevered even in the midst of war.
