EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the historic Somme campaign in France during World War I showcases the mascot of the Anzacs, symbolizing bravery and camaraderie. Taken in 1916, this image captures a powerful moment that encapsulates the spirit of the era. In this monochrome scene, a group of soldiers stands proudly alongside their trusted companion - a horse adorned with an unexpected twist. Perched atop its back is an unlikely mascot: a mischievous monkey. This unusual pairing adds an element of surprise to an otherwise somber setting, reminding us that even amidst war's chaos, moments of levity can be found. The men surrounding them exude determination and resilience as they prepare for battle on the Western Front. Their faces reveal both weariness and unwavering resolve; these brave soldiers are ready to face whatever challenges lie ahead. The location remains unknown but it serves as a poignant reminder that war knows no boundaries or borders. Soldiers from different countries - Australia and Britain among them - unite under one cause, fighting side by side against adversity. This photograph is part of the Historica Graphica Collection, which preserves significant moments in history through visual documentation. It serves as a timeless testament to the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I.
