EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during the First World War in Flanders, circa 1915-1916. The image showcases Allied soldiers utilizing periscopes, an innovative technology of the time, to observe their surroundings from within the trenches. These brave Canadian infantrymen are seen wearing newly introduced steel helmets, ready to repel any potential attack. The photograph is taken from "The Great World War: A History". Volume V, edited by Frank A Mumby and published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in London around 1920. It provides a glimpse into the harsh reality faced by soldiers on the Western Front during this tumultuous period. The scene depicts men standing amidst corrugated iron structures and sandbags that form their defensive positions. Armed with rifles and bayonets at hand, they remain vigilant against enemy forces lurking beyond their sightline. Although created by an unknown photographer, this image serves as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity displayed by these individuals amidst the chaos of war. It symbolizes both human determination and technological advancements that played crucial roles in shaping warfare strategies during World War I. Preserved through time, this historical snapshot offers viewers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless soldiers who fought valiantly for their country's cause on battlefields like Flanders.
