EDITORS COMMENTS
A moment frozen in time, this print captures the essence of a weary French Dragoon Scout finding respite amidst the historic battlefield of Waterloo. In the scorching August heat of 1914, this brave soldier pauses on a cobbled road to quench his thirst with a welcome drink. The brass helmet atop his head serves as a symbol of his unwavering commitment to duty and honor. As he takes a much-needed break from reconnoitering, one can only imagine the thoughts running through his mind. Perhaps he contemplates the countless soldiers who fought before him on these very grounds during previous conflicts. Or maybe he envisions what lies ahead for him and his comrades in this new chapter of war. The presence of horses nearby hints at the cavalry's crucial role in World War One, their strength and agility indispensable on treacherous battlefields. These noble creatures stand beside their human counterparts, ready to charge into action at any given moment. Published by Daily Mirror on August 20th, 1914, this poignant image transports us back over a century ago when nations clashed and lives were forever changed. It serves as an enduring reminder that even amidst chaos and conflict, moments of respite and humanity can still be found.
