EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the poignant moment of departure for German soldiers during World War I, known as the "Landsturm". The image, taken between 1914 and 1915 by Bain News Service, shows a group of women and a military band standing outside railroad cars filled with soldiers ready to embark on their journey.
The solemn expressions on the faces of both the departing soldiers and their loved ones convey the gravity of war and separation. The women wave goodbye with gestures of support and love, while the men stand stoically in their uniforms, prepared for duty.
The black and white composition adds a timeless quality to this historical moment, highlighting the stark contrast between peace and conflict. The details captured in this photograph - from the train carriages to the expressions on each individual's face - offer a glimpse into life during wartime.
As we reflect on this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served their country during times of turmoil. It serves as a powerful reminder of the human cost of war and honors those who bravely answered the call to serve.
