Auerbach Engineers Folded Harold Teenage Teenager
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative studio portrait captures the young and determined face of Harold Auerbach, a teenager from the early 1900s who answered the call to serve in the Royal Engineers during World War I. The photograph was taken in February 1916, as the conflict continued to rage across Europe. At just 19 years old, Harold is seen here in his full military uniform, his arms folded confidently across his chest. The image exudes a sense of resilience and bravery, as Harold prepared to leave his home and family to fight for his country. Harold Auerbach was born in 1897 and grew up in the first decade of the 20th century. The outbreak of war in 1914 saw him join the ranks of the Royal Engineers, a branch of the British Army responsible for providing military engineers, including those for bridging, tunneling, and mining. This role was crucial to the success of military operations, as it enabled troops to move quickly and effectively across the battlefield. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the thousands of young men like Harold who enlisted during the war, leaving behind their civilian lives to serve their country. The 1910s were a time of great change, and this image encapsulates the spirit of a generation that came of age during a time of war and upheaval. Harold's story is a testament to the courage and sacrifice of those who served during World War I. This studio portrait provides a glimpse into the past, offering a poignant reminder of the human cost of conflict.
