EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration by Bert Wardle captures a poignant moment during World War I as a weary and aging Crimean War veteran is assisted by a sailor and a Highland soldier towards a YMCA hut. The year was 1916, and the scene unfolds at Woodbridge Camp, a military installation in England. The trio's destination is the nearby YMCA hut, a symbol of comfort and respite for soldiers during the harsh realities of war. The Crimean War veteran, with his graying beard and worn uniform, carries the weight of history on his shoulders. His service in the Crimean War, fought between 1853 and 1856, predated the advent of modern military technology and medical care. The sailor and Highland soldier, both young and strong, offer their assistance with compassion and respect, reflecting the camaraderie and mutual support that existed among soldiers from different backgrounds during wartime. The YMCA, a global organization dedicated to providing leisure, recreation, and entertainment for soldiers, played a crucial role in the lives of soldiers during WWI. The hut served as a sanctuary where they could find solace from the rigors of military life, engage in activities, and connect with their families and loved ones back home. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the sacrifices made by soldiers and veterans throughout history and the enduring importance of organizations like the YMCA in providing support and care to those who serve their countries.
