Dans les forts reconquis de Douaumont et de Vaux; couloir de l'infirmerie dans le fort de Vaux
EDITORS COMMENTS
(In the reconquered forts of Douaumont and Vaux; corridor of the infirmary in fort Vaux), 1916 is a poignant photograph from the Collection de la Guerre IV, published in the French magazine L'Illustration. The image captures a moment in the harsh reality of the First World War, specifically during the Battle of Verdun in 1916. The photograph shows a group of wounded soldiers seated in the corridor of the infirmary in fort Vaux, a fortification that had been reconquered by the French army after a long and brutal battle. The soldiers, some with bandaged heads and others with expressions of pain and exhaustion, wait their turn to be attended to by medical personnel. The fort's dimly lit corridor, with its peeling walls and rusted metal fixtures, adds to the sense of despair and hardship. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the human cost of war, with the soldiers' vulnerability and fragility contrasting sharply with the fort's imposing and fortified exterior. The image also underscores the importance of medical care during wartime, as the soldiers rely on the infirmary for treatment and relief from their wounds. The photograph's creator is unknown, adding to its mystique and historical significance. It is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the First World War and the medical personnel who cared for them. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the wartime experience and the sacrifices made by those on the front lines.
