EDITORS COMMENTS
This painted photograph postcard, dating back to 1916, depicts a poignant moment between a soldier and a young lady. The soldier, identified as Pte. Holland Leckie (or Lecky) of the Machine Gun Corps, stands behind the woman in a cozy living room setting. With a tender expression on his face, he holds her hand, giving her a parting kiss before leaving for the Western Front. The inscription below the image, "The parting kiss is not to be forgotten!", adds to the emotional significance of the scene. Manufactured in France during the same year, this postcard was likely sent by Pte. Leckie to a loved one named Ada. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during World War One and the deep emotional connections they held with their families and loved ones. The postcard is a precious keepsake, reflecting the human stories behind the larger historical events of the time. The postcard's association with the Western Front and World War One is evident from the context of the time period and the military uniform of the soldier. This image offers a glimpse into the personal experiences of soldiers and their families during the war, providing valuable insights into the human stories often overlooked in historical accounts.
