EDITORS COMMENTS
(At the Wheel: Tractor Team of a 240-Piece: Tractor-Filler and Tractor-Carriage), 1918, is a captivating photograph from the first world war era, showcasing an intriguing scene of tractor teams in France. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts two men skillfully maneuvering a pair of tractors, each towing a large artillery piece. The tractor-filler, located at the front, is responsible for positioning the artillery piece onto the railway, while the tractor-carriage, following closely behind, transports the gun to its destination. The men, dressed in military uniforms, demonstrate a remarkable level of coordination and strength as they navigate the uneven terrain, showcasing the crucial role of road and rail transport during the war. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of the French armed forces during the first world war, providing an insight into the logistical challenges they faced in moving heavy artillery pieces to the front lines. The image is a poignant reminder of the human effort and ingenuity required to sustain the war effort, as well as the camaraderie and determination of the soldiers in the face of adversity. The photograph's title, "Au Volant" (At the Wheel), emphasizes the importance of these tractor teams in the war effort, as they played a vital role in ensuring the continuous supply of weapons and ammunition to the front lines. This image, with its rich historical context, is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the soldiers and the innovative solutions they employed during the first world war.
