La Guerre a L'Allemande - The Nave of Saint-Gervais Church Hit by Long-Range German Artillery, March 29, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the devastating impact of war on the historic Saint-Gervais Church in Paris during the First World War. Taken on Good Friday, March 29, 1918, the image shows the nave of the church, which had been struck by a long-range German artillery shell during the Office of the Tenebres. The title, "La Guerre a L'Allemande" (The War is German), underscores the sense of invasion and destruction wrought by the conflict. The photograph is from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, a renowned French weekly magazine, in 1924. The image is a poignant reminder of the destruction and devastation wrought by the First World War on the European continent, particularly in France. The ruins of the church, with its broken arches and shattered stonework, stand as a testament to the brutality of war and the resilience of the human spirit. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the impact of conflict on religious institutions and the communities they serve. The photograph's creator is unknown, adding to its mystery and intrigue. It is a haunting reminder of a time when war tore through Europe, leaving behind a trail of destruction and loss. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving history and remembering the lessons of the past.
