EDITORS COMMENTS
This collection of six studies, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of World War I soldiers and the emotions they left behind. The primary image features five soldiers in various poses, each with their unique stories. Among them is "The Bread Winner," a somber depiction of a soldier holding a loaf of bread, perhaps reflecting the heavy burden of providing for his family while away at war. "When the Boys Go Back" captures the bittersweet moment of reunion between a soldier and his loved ones, while "The Picket" and "A Scottish Soldier at Victoria Station" evoke a sense of duty and longing. On the reverse side of the print, an intriguing scene unfolds as a man plays a flute for an officer, who asks, "Have you ever been a soldier? Don't answer me, have you ever been a soldier? Hem!" This poignant exchange is accompanied by the image of a recruiting officer and the inscription, "21017 Private P.J. Hill, D Company, 20th Battalion, The County of London Regiment. Studied at Lambeth School of Art, St. Oswald's Place, Upper Kennington Lane. Resided at 6 Amott Road, Peckham Rye, London in 1895." This evocative set of studies not only showcases the human side of war but also highlights the artistic talent that emerged from the era. Each piece invites us to reflect on the experiences of these soldiers and the impact of their service on their lives and the lives of those they left behind.
