EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled 'Les routes de la poursuite; Troupes britanniques passant la Somme' (The Pursuit Routes; British Troops Crossing the Somme), was captured during the First World War in 1917. The image is from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1' published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The scene depicts British soldiers making their way across a bridge over the River Somme, likely during an advance on the Western Front. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, move purposefully across the structure, while the bridge behind them is filled with their comrades. The River Somme, a significant geographical feature of the battlefield, flows calmly beneath them, adding to the serene yet tense atmosphere of the image. The photograph offers a glimpse into the military strategy and movement of troops during this pivotal period of the First World War. The exact location and specific battle are unknown, but the image serves as a powerful reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought on the front lines.
