EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Infantry Attack Across No Mans Land" and taken in 1919 during the First World War, offers a remarkable glimpse into the harsh realities of warfare. The scene depicts troops diligently digging themselves in while under attack from enemy forces. What makes this image truly extraordinary is that it was captured from a low altitude by an aeroplane engaged in machine-gun fire against the opposing troops. The aerial perspective provides a bird's eye view of the battlefield, showcasing the vast expanse of no man's land stretching out before them. The monochrome composition intensifies the sense of desolation and danger faced by these brave soldiers as they advance towards their objective. Although created by an unknown photographer, this photograph serves as a powerful testament to the courage and resilience displayed by infantrymen during one of history's most devastating conflicts. It encapsulates both the chaos and strategic precision required for success on such treacherous battlegrounds. Preserved within "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", authored by W. Stanley Macbean Knight in 1919, this print stands as a poignant reminder of those who fought valiantly for their countries amidst unimaginable circumstances. As we reflect upon this image today, it allows us to honor their sacrifice while also reminding us never to forget the horrors endured during World War I.
