EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of La Malmaison: Before our artillery preparation - A moment of respite for German soldiers, 1917. This evocative photograph captures a moment of calm before the storm during the Battle of La Malmaison, which took place on October 25, 1917, during World War I. The scene unfolds on the slopes of Mont des Singes, a strategic location in the Chemin des Dames sector of the Aisne-Marne region in Picardy, France. The German soldiers in this image are seen resting, their weary expressions etched with the weight of the impending battle. The trees and tree trunks, scorched and charred from previous battles, stand as silent witnesses to the relentless conflict. The soldiers' uniforms are a stark contrast to the barren, desolate landscape. The Battle of La Malmaison was part of the Second Battle of the Aisne, a major engagement on the Western Front. The French and German forces clashed in a brutal struggle for control of the high ground, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The battle is notable for the extensive use of artillery and the devastating impact it had on the landscape. This photograph is taken from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the human side of war, a brief moment of stillness amidst the chaos and destruction.
