EDITORS COMMENTS
Les Guetteurs; or The Night Watch, a poignant pencil drawing by Lucien Jonas, captures the essence of patience and endurance during the First World War. Dated 1916, this evocative image is taken from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." Two soldiers, dressed in full military regalia, stand at an observation post, their gaze fixed on the horizon. Their expressions are serious, their bodies tense, as they wait for any sign of enemy activity. The title of the piece, "Les Guetteurs; on ne fume pas au poste d'écoute, mais il est permis de macher sa pipe..." translates to "Night Watch; you don't smoke at the lookout post, you are allowed to chew your pipe, to pass the time." The soldiers' uniforms are adorned with badges and insignia, their helmets resting on the ground beside them. One soldier clutches a bayonet, while the other cradles a tobacco pipe between his teeth, the smoke curling up into the night sky. The scene is set against a backdrop of dark, rolling hills, the only light coming from the soldiers' lanterns and the moon casting long shadows. This powerful image is a testament to the long hours spent in the trenches, the waiting, the watching, and the camaraderie that developed between soldiers during the First World War. It is a reminder of the human element of war, the moments of respite amidst the chaos and the importance of finding ways to pass the time in the face of uncertainty. Lucien Jonas' "Les Guetteurs;" is a poignant and evocative piece of art that captures the spirit of the First World War, offering a glimpse into the lives of soldiers on the Western Front during this pivotal moment in history.
