EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the French attack on July 31, 1917, during the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele. The conquered enemy lines lie in the foreground, with the weary French soldiers advancing through the devastated landscape. In the background, the ominous German barrage looms, a reminder of the ongoing conflict. The scene is dotted with bomb craters and damaged fences, the result of relentless bombardment. Two soldiers, one with a determined look on his face, the other appearing more contemplative, walk through the smoky battlefield, their progress marked by the distant curtain fire. This haunting image is taken from the French publication 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of war, and the human cost of the First World War in the Flanders region of Belgium during the 1910s.
