EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Italian campaign of World War I. The scene depicts a double column of French artillery and Alpine chasseurs making their way across a newly constructed strategic road, over a treacherous mountain pass. The Italians, who had been struggling against the Austrian forces in the Alps, had turned the tide of the war with the help of their French allies. The road, which cuts through the rugged terrain, serves as a crucial thoroughfare for the deployment of troops and supplies to the front lines. The soldiers, bundled up against the cold mountain air, march determinedly, their weapons at the ready. The artillery pieces, towering over them, are carefully maneuvered along the narrow path. The photograph, titled "The Italians turn things around; French aid: crossing a pass, on a newly constructed strategic road," was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. It offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by the soldiers on the Italian front and the importance of strategic logistics in the conduct of war. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides during the First World War and the crucial role played by the Allies in turning the tide of the conflict. The photograph's creator is unknown, but their work captures the spirit of resilience and determination that defined the war effort.
