La Bataille de la Somme - En terrain reconquis - the formidable German defenses overturned before the village of Dompierre, which was taken by our troops on the first day of the attack
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative photograph from the First World War, taken during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The exact creator of the image remains unknown, but it was published in "L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," a French publication documenting the events of the war. The photograph captures the aftermath of the fierce fighting that took place during the Somme Offensive, one of the largest battles of the First World War. The image shows the devastated landscape of the battlefield, with the village of Dompierre in the distance. The German defenses, once formidable and impenetrable, lie in ruins, overturned and destroyed. The image serves as a stark reminder of the destructive power of war and the cost of battle. The photograph was taken during the early stages of the battle, on the first day of the attack, when French and British forces made initial gains against the German defenses. The village of Dompierre was one of the first objectives of the attack and was taken by the Allied forces, marking a significant victory in the early stages of the battle. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the devastating impact of the conflict on the people and landscapes of France and Germany. The image is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the events of the war and the tactics used by both sides. The photograph is also a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Somme and the importance of remembering their sacrifices.
