EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print from Holt's Battlefields Collection captures a moment in time during World War I, circa 1915. The Poster type card shows a Church Lads Member at camp, with a message from Leonard to his mother lamenting the fact that he had to leave his rifle behind in the Church room. This small detail speaks volumes about the sacrifices made by young men like Leonard who were training for war.
The KRRC formed a Battalion from such lads, highlighting the important role these youth played in the conflict. The artist of this powerful image is unknown, but their work has immortalized this piece of history for future generations to reflect upon.
As we look at this card and imagine Leonard's longing for his weapon while away at camp, we are reminded of the harsh realities faced by those who served during WWI. It serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication shown by these young soldiers, many of whom left behind comforts and familiar surroundings to fight for their country.
This print is not just a historical artifact; it is a window into the past that allows us to connect with those who lived through one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history.
