EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Battle of the Somme in July 1916. In the image, a French general, identified only as 'B', is seen inspecting a captured German battery, which had been in position but was later overtaken by his colonial troops. The scene is set against the backdrop of the devastated battlefield in Picardy, France, with the remnants of trenches and destroyed weaponry scattered around. The general, dressed in military uniform, is deep in thought as he assesses the situation, surrounded by his men and soldiers from the French army. The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest battles of the First World War, and this photograph offers a poignant reminder of the intense and brutal trench warfare that characterized the conflict. The image is from the 'Collection de la Guerre IV' and was published in the French magazine 'L'Illustration' in 1916. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the creator of the photograph, it is a powerful testament to the events of the Western Front during World War I.
