EDITORS COMMENTS
Au Volant; Une route du front: Arrivée des convois dans la zone avancée," translated to "At the Wheel; A Road to the Front: Arrival of Convoys in the Advanced Zone," is an evocative and poignant photograph from the First World War era, captured in 1918. The image, which originated from the French publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, showcases a group of soldiers and civilians guiding a convoy of lorries and trucks along a dusty, rutted road. The photograph offers a glimpse into the arduous and essential role of road transport during the First World War, particularly in the advanced zones of the Western Front. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with rifles, are intently focused on the task at hand, directing the vehicles through the winding and treacherous terrain. The civilians, dressed in civilian clothing, are also present, likely providing support and assistance to the military effort. The image, with its stark contrast and grainy texture, conveys a sense of urgency and determination. The lorries and trucks, laden with supplies and equipment, represent the vital link between the front lines and the rear echelons, ensuring the continued functioning and survival of the armed forces. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and hardships endured by soldiers and civilians alike during the First World War. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this poignant and historically significant image. It is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of those who lived through the First World War and the crucial role that road transport played in the war effort.
