Auerbach Badge Buttons Fusiliers Leather Shoulders Strap
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant head and shoulders studio portrait captures the young face of Albert Auerbach, a brave soldier in the Royal Fusiliers during World War I. The photograph was taken in February 1917, a time when the war was entering its third year and the tide of battle was far from turning in favor of the Allies. Auerbach, born in 1894, wears the distinctive uniform of the Royal Fusiliers, complete with a red tie, brass buttons, and a leather strap holding his rifleman's badge. The serious expression on his face speaks volumes about the heavy burden of responsibility and the fear that must have weighed on his shoulders as he prepared to face the horrors of the battlefield. The image is a poignant reminder of the young men and women who answered the call to duty during the First World War, and the sacrifices they made for their country. This photograph, taken over a century ago, serves as a powerful testament to the courage and resilience of those who lived through one of history's most tumultuous periods.
