EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the somber backdrop of World War I, this poignant image captures the bittersweet moment of a German soldier bidding farewell to his beloved wife and four young children before departing for the battlefield. The soldier, clad in military uniform and holding a rifle, shares a tender and emotional goodbye with his pet hound, who seems to sense the impending separation. The silhouetted scene, set against the fading light of the evening, evokes a sense of melancholy and longing. The soldier's departure marks the beginning of a long and uncertain journey, filled with danger and hardship. His family, left behind, can only watch as he disappears into the distance, their hearts heavy with worry and love. This poignant moment serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War.
