EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant letter, penned by Albert Auerbach on the first page of a correspondence dated 30th April 1916, offers a rare glimpse into the experiences of a soldier stationed on the Western Front during World War I. Albert, an officer in the Royal Fusiliers, wrote this letter from No.1 Territorial Base Depot in Rouen, Northern France. The letterhead bears the address of the London-based regiment, hinting at the military operations that would soon unfold. In his letter to his dear sister Lucy, Albert's words reveal a sense of foreboding and uncertainty. He obliquely references plans that involve great danger for his battalion, which could be a veiled reference to the impending Battle of the Somme. The handwriting on the page is clear and deliberate, betraying the gravity of the situation and the importance of the message. The image of this letter serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and their families during the First World War. It is a testament to the enduring bond between siblings, and the courage and resilience of those who served on the front lines. The letter's historical significance lies in the unique insight it provides into the experiences of a soldier during this tumultuous time in history. This letter is part of The Patricia Aubrey Collection, a valuable archive of historical documents and images from the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the human stories that lie behind the larger historical narrative of the First World War.
