EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image showcases a collection of letters and envelopes from Albert Auerbach, penned during his service with the Royal Fusiliers during the First World War. Dated between 1915 and 1916, these precious correspondences were carefully arranged in a leather artist's case, preserving the history and sentiment of each piece. The handwriting on the letters, unique to Albert, adds an intimate touch to the collection, revealing the thoughts and feelings of a soldier far from home. The Royal Fusiliers, an infantry regiment of the British Army, played a significant role in the First World War. Albert, an officer in the regiment, wrote these letters to his beloved sister Lucy, sharing stories of his experiences on the front lines. The letterheads, adorned with the regimental insignia, serve as a reminder of the military context in which these letters were penned. The 1910s were a time of great change and upheaval, with the First World War marking a pivotal moment in history. This collection of letters offers a glimpse into the lives of those who lived through this era, providing a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the larger historical narrative. The leather artist's case, with its protective and elegant design, serves as a fitting container for these cherished family keepsakes, preserving the history and sentiment of Albert's letters for generations to come.
