EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print from the First World War captures a mother and her child in a moment of prayer, titled "God protect him" in 1915. The image reflects the heart-wrenching reality faced by families during this tumultuous time, as loved ones were sent off to battle with uncertain outcomes. The mother's expression is one of deep concern and hope, while the child clings to her side, embodying innocence amidst the chaos of war.
The postcard serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by countless families during World War I, highlighting the emotional toll and uncertainty that pervaded daily life. The backdrop of France adds another layer of historical significance, as it was one of the major battlegrounds during this global conflict.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen in history – a mother's plea for divine protection over her son who has gone off to fight for his country. It encapsulates themes of patriotism, family separation, and unwavering faith in times of turmoil.
As we reflect on this photograph taken over a century ago, may we remember all those who have been affected by war and strive for peace in our world today.
