EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wartime Respite" we are transported back to the year 1918 during World War I. The image captures a moment of joy and respite amidst the chaos of war, as American soldiers dance with YMCA girls on the balcony of the casino at Aix-Les-Bains. Leased by the YMCA specifically for entertaining servicemen from the American Expeditionary Force (AEF), this venue provided a much-needed escape for these brave men in uniform. As they twirl their partners around, their faces radiate happiness and relief, if only momentarily forgetting about the hardships they faced on a daily basis. The composition beautifully showcases both men and women coming together in unity, highlighting how moments like these brought solace to those far away from home. It is evident that even amidst war's devastation, human connections were still being forged. This historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of not only the resilience displayed by our military forces but also highlights how organizations such as YMCA played an essential role in providing support and entertainment during wartime. As we gaze upon this remarkable snapshot frozen in time, it allows us to reflect on the sacrifices made by these soldiers while appreciating their ability to find solace through simple pleasures – reminding us all of our shared humanity even during times of conflict.
