EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the turmoil and uncertainty of the First World War, this heartwarming photograph captures a moment of tranquility and joy in the garden of the Auerbach family home in Cheam, Surrey, England, during the summer of 1917. The scene is filled with the vibrant colors of blooming flowers, providing a stark contrast to the muted tones of the military uniforms worn by two of the siblings. From left to right, we see the eldest sister, Violet, dressed in a simple summer frock, her arms wrapped around her younger sister Lucy, who gazes up at her with a smile. In the background, brothers Harold and Albert stand tall and proud in their military uniforms, a testament to their service and dedication to their country. Harold, the elder brother, holds a walking stick, perhaps a reminder of an injury sustained during his time in the forces. Despite the challenging circumstances of the time, the Auerbach family managed to find moments of happiness and connection amidst the chaos of the war. The brothers, both serving in the military, would have been separated from their loved ones for long periods of time, making moments like these all the more precious. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of a family during the 1910s, a time marked by sacrifice, resilience, and the enduring bonds of love and family.
