"The Weekend Away from the Front: British Officers and Men on Short Leave from the Trenches Arriving at Victoria" is a historical illustration by A.C. Michael, published in "The Illustrated War News" in 1915. This poignant work captures a moment during World War I when British soldiers, granted a brief respite from the harrowing conditions of trench warfare, return to London's Victoria Station. The illustration is notable for its depiction of the contrasting emotions experienced by the soldiers—relief at being away from the front lines, yet possibly burdened by the knowledge of their imminent return.

A.C. Michael, the artist behind this evocative piece, was known for his contributions to periodicals of the time, often illustrating scenes from the Great War. His work provides a visual record of the era and offers insight into the personal experiences of those involved in the conflict. "The Weekend Away from the Front" is emblematic of Michael's ability to convey the human aspect of war, highlighting the brief interludes of normalcy that soldiers cherished amidst the chaos.

Published during a time when the war was at its peak, the illustration served as a poignant reminder to the British public of the sacrifices made by their soldiers. It also functioned as a piece of wartime propaganda, emphasizing the resilience and fortitude of the British troops.
