EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled 'Les Fuyards: Officiers russes et anglais des automobiles blindées arrêtant un convoi de soldats qui fuyaient le front sur des wagons enleves à l'Intendance' (Runaways: Russian and English officers from armoured vehicles stopping a convoy of soldiers who were fleeing from the front on stolen wagons), was published in 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image captures a pivotal moment during the First World War, as Russian and English officers commandeer armoured vehicles to halt a convoy of soldiers who were deserting from the front lines. The soldiers, seen here in various stages of abandoning their horses and wagons, had likely grown weary of the prolonged conflict and sought refuge behind the safety of the cover of darkness. The image, reminiscent of the grayscale palette of the era, offers a stark contrast to the chaos and turmoil unfolding in the scene. The horses, both in harness and loose, add an additional layer of complexity to the image, as they represent both the means of transportation for the soldiers and a potential source of sustenance for those who remained behind. This powerful photograph offers a glimpse into the human experience of war, highlighting the desperation, fear, and determination that defined the First World War.
