EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures the harsh reality of war during World War I. In the midst of battle, a 'poilu' (French infantryman) sits in a trench, seeking out lice that have infested his clothing and body. The image is raw and unfiltered, showing the toll that war takes on not only soldiers' physical health but also their mental well-being. The bare-chested soldier's deshabille appearance speaks volumes about the unsanitary conditions of trench warfare. His determined expression reflects both resignation to his circumstances and a sense of duty to maintain some semblance of hygiene amidst chaos. The presence of lice was a common issue for soldiers during WWI, causing discomfort and spreading disease among troops already facing unimaginable challenges on the battlefield. This photograph serves as a stark reminder of the everyday struggles faced by those who fought in this brutal conflict. Through photography, Jaime Abecasis captures a moment frozen in time - one that encapsulates the hardships endured by soldiers during one of history's most devastating wars. It is an image that demands reflection on the human cost of conflict and underscores the importance of remembering those who sacrificed so much for their countries.
