EDITORS COMMENTS
by Arthur Watts: A Bittersweet Reunion with Civilian Life after the Great War This poignant photograph, titled "Reflections," captures the moment of introspection experienced by a British soldier as he tries on civilian clothes in a tailor or draper's shop in 1919. The man, deep in thought, gazes at his reflection in the mirror, a mirror that serves as a portal to his past. The image, taken by renowned English photographer Arthur Watts, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of soldiers as they transitioned from military uniforms to civilian attire following the end of the First World War. The date, 1919, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of these soldiers. The war had ended, but the scars of battle remained. The clothes hanging on the racks behind the man serve as a reminder of the uniforms he once wore, a uniform that represented duty, discipline, and camaraderie. The civilian clothes, on the other hand, symbolize a return to normalcy, a return to a life that was put on hold during the war. The man's expression is one of contemplation, perhaps even a hint of sadness. His eyes are fixed on the reflection, lost in thought as memories of the war flood back. The mirror, once a tool for ensuring a proper fit, now serves as a mirror to the soul, reflecting the weight of the past and the promise of the future. This image, a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, offers a glimpse into the complex emotions experienced by soldiers as they re-entered civilian life. It is a testament to the enduring power of reflection and the indelible mark that the First World War left on the lives of those who served.
