EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1919, we are transported back to the aftermath of World War I. The image showcases soldiers of the U. S. 89th Division finding solace and respite in occupied Germany near the tranquil Moselle River. Amidst the ruins and remnants of war, a Y. M. C. A. worker can be seen compassionately distributing cigarettes, candy, magazines, and writing paper to these weary men. The scene captures a moment of humanity amidst the chaos and destruction that defined this tumultuous period in history. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in times of conflict, acts of kindness can bring comfort and hope to those who have endured unimaginable hardships on the battlefield. As we observe these soldiers relaxing by the riverbank, it is evident that they are seeking solace not only in physical rest but also through connection with their loved ones back home. The presence of writing paper signifies their desire to maintain communication with family members or pen heartfelt letters expressing their experiences during wartime. This stereograph offers us a glimpse into an era when nations were rebuilding themselves after immense devastation. It symbolizes resilience, camaraderie among allies, and the tireless efforts made by organizations like Y. M. C. A. , which played an instrumental role in providing support for troops during this challenging time. Through this powerful image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of both the horrors faced by these brave soldiers on foreign soil and our shared responsibility to honor their sacrifices while striving for peace in our world
