EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image showcases the first page of a letter written by Albert Auerbach to his beloved sister Lucy on August 18, 1918. The letter, penned in pencil on torn and worn paper, bears the unmistakable signs of the harsh conditions endured by soldiers at the Western Front during World War I. Auerbach, a soldier with the Royal Fusiliers, was stationed in northern France at the time, serving his country in the final months of the war. The letter, now a cherished relic, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. Its contents, lost to history, remain a mystery, but the very act of writing serves as a testament to the enduring bond between siblings. Tragically, this would be the last letter Albert wrote to Lucy. He was killed in action at Bouchavesnes on September 1, 1918, leaving behind a grieving family and a legacy of sacrifice. The letter's aged appearance, with its faded ink and creased edges, speaks to the passage of time and the weight of history. It serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War, and the enduring power of the written word to connect us across time and space.
