EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Blighted Blighty" captures the poignant story of a subaltern on leave in 1917, returning to his homeland only to find it completely consumed by the war effort. The image depicts a young man, clearly disheartened and lonely, as he navigates through a society where everyone is preoccupied with "doing their bit" for the war.
His girlfriends have become nurses and volunteers, too busy working tirelessly to spare him any time or attention. The women around him are focused on supporting the troops overseas, leaving him feeling isolated and forgotten in his own country.
This historical snapshot offers a glimpse into the sacrifices made by individuals during wartime, highlighting the emotional toll it takes on those left behind. It serves as a reminder of the profound impact that global conflicts can have on personal relationships and societal norms.
Through this powerful visual narrative, viewers are transported back in time to witness firsthand the sad sufferings of a young man caught in the midst of an all-encompassing war effort. "Blighted Blighty" is not just a photograph - it's a window into history that sheds light on the human experience during times of turmoil.
