A sailor boy with a flower garland gives this picture a gentle, almost festive note for a piece titled "Lest We Forget," and that contrast is worth lingering on. The garland suggests a celebration or a farewell, while the title asks viewers to remember the cost of service. Images like this were common in the years around the world wars, when postcards and printed pictures of young servicemen carried sentiment from home to the front and back again. Patriotic pictures of this kind were meant to honor the men who served and to keep their sacrifice in public memory.
