EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "English Attack on July 31, 1917; Advance at Dawn, of the Infantry," is a poignant depiction of the brutal realities of trench warfare during the First World War. Created by renowned Dutch artist MHK Koekkoek in 1917, the print was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris. The scene captures the moment as British infantry advance at dawn, infiltrating gaps between shell holes that have formed many small deep pools. The ground is scarred by the relentless bombardment, with bomb craters and the remnants of exploded munitions scattered throughout the landscape. Two tanks can be seen in the distance, their menacing silhouettes adding to the sense of chaos and destruction. The soldiers, dressed in uniforms and carrying weapons, run through the terrain, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The smoke from the explosions rises into the sky, creating an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere. The image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the armed forces during the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele, which took place in Flanders, Belgium, during the summer of 1917. The print, which is in a letterbox format, is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of history and the human experience. It is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience of the soldiers who fought in the trenches, and the devastating impact of war on the land and its people.
