EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a heartwarming moment during World War I. It showcases convalescent soldiers from the Summerdown Convalescent Hospital in Eastbourne, England, coming together to put on a pantomime. The entire production, including music and scenery, is the remarkable creation of these brave officers and men. In this image taken on 9th January 1918 by Alfieri, we see injured and wounded soldiers taking center stage as they don vibrant costumes depicting characters like Harlequin. Despite their injuries and the hardships they have endured, these resilient individuals find solace in the world of theater. The photograph not only highlights their dedication to recuperation but also serves as a testament to their indomitable spirit amidst the chaos of war. Through this performance, these convalescents showcase their determination to heal both physically and emotionally. It is truly inspiring to witness how art can provide an avenue for expression even in times of adversity. This snapshot encapsulates the power of camaraderie among soldiers who have found joy through creativity while recovering from battle wounds. Alfieri's skillful capture transports us back to this significant era in history when healing took many forms - one being the magic that unfolded on stage at Eastbourne's pantomime.
