EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the early 20th century amidst the chaos of World War One. The image showcases a French Army cook with his field kitchen in Northern France, providing us a glimpse into the daily life and struggles faced by soldiers during this tumultuous time. The cook, dressed in his uniform, stands beside his makeshift kitchen as he prepares meals for weary troops. His serious expression reflects the gravity of war that surrounds him. Hanging from a tree nearby is an unexpected sight - a pig's head. It serves as a reminder of both resourcefulness and gallows humor amidst the harsh realities of conflict. Beneath the peculiar display hangs a sign that reads "Hotel Guillaume" perhaps an attempt to inject some semblance of normalcy or irony into their dire circumstances. This small touch humanizes the soldier behind it all, reminding us that even in times of war, individuals find ways to cope and maintain their sense of identity. Circa October 30th, 1914, this photograph captures not only the physicality involved in cooking for an army but also highlights the resilience and determination exhibited by those who served on the front lines. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we cannot help but feel gratitude for these unsung heroes who provided sustenance under such challenging conditions. Staff at Memory Lane Prints has expertly preserved this piece of history through their collection – allowing us to reflect upon and appreciate those who selflessly dedicated themselves during
