Au Volant; Auto sanitaire don't let it go before being crushed; volunteers of the S.S. 113 brought it back 'for honor' from Fort Tavannes to Verdun, 1916.
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the resilience and determination of the volunteers of the S.S. 113 during the brutal Battle of Verdun in the First World War. The image shows a damaged ambulance, its body mangled and crushed from the impact of shelling on the battlefield. Despite the destruction, a group of volunteers, dressed in military uniforms, are seen working to restore the vehicle to working order. The caption suggests that the ambulance had been damaged but not completely destroyed, and the volunteers were determined to get it back into service to help transport wounded soldiers to safety. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of warfare during the First World War. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, captures the gritty and raw reality of the battlefield. The volunteers' unwavering commitment to their duty, even in the face of destruction and damage, is a testament to their bravery and dedication. The photograph was taken in Verdun, Meuse-Lorraine, France, on the Western Front during the First World War. The Battle of Verdun, which lasted from February to December 1916, was one of the longest and deadliest battles of the war, resulting in over 700,000 casualties. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the armed forces during this time, and the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
