EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a behind-the-scenes glimpse of soldiers at work during the tumultuous years of World War I. The image showcases an engraving of "The soldier's alphabet" with the letter B prominently displayed, symbolizing the bravery and resilience of those who served on the front lines.
Published by E.R. Halt it! in Paris around 1916, this series of 25 postcards was used by soldiers throughout the war and into the early 1930s. The sizeable postcard measures 9.5x14cm and is now part of a private collection, offering a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during this turbulent period in history.
In this particular scene, soldiers can be seen diligently working on fortifications, perhaps preparing for an impending attack or strategizing their next move. The atmosphere is tense yet filled with camaraderie as these brave men navigate through uncertain times together.
As night falls and tensions escalate, this engraving serves as both a practical tool for communication and a source of humor amidst the chaos of war. It offers a glimpse into daily life within military barracks, highlighting not only the physical challenges faced by soldiers but also their unwavering spirit and determination to persevere.
This striking image encapsulates the essence of wartime Europe in the early 20th century, capturing moments that are both historic and deeply human.
