EDITORS COMMENTS
In Flanders: The Yser Offensive (1917) - Cossing of the Yser Canal by Infantry of the 1st Corps This evocative image captures the early morning hours of July 31, 1917, as infantrymen of the 1st Corps courageously cross the Yser canal during the Yser Offensive in the Battle of Passchendaele. The black smoke billowing in the background is a grim reminder of the intense battlefield conditions that awaited them. The scene unfolds near the lock at Het-Sas in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, with soldiers making their way across a footbridge over the canal. The calm, colorful waters of the canal starkly contrast the chaos and destruction of the battlefield in the distance. The infantrymen, dressed in their uniforms and armed with rifles, move forward with determination and resolve, their faces illuminated by the dim light of the early morning. The Yser Offensive was a significant campaign during the First World War, fought between July and November 1917, in which the Allied forces attempted to push back the German forces in the Ypres Salient. The crossing of the Yser canal was a crucial moment in the campaign, as it allowed the Allied forces to advance towards the German positions. This powerful and poignant drawing by Francois Flameng, from the publication "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, offers a vivid and moving portrayal of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers during this pivotal moment in military history.
