Sous le Choc - British Field Artillery in Retreat, March 21, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a poignant photograph by the acclaimed Spanish artist, Josep Simont i Guillen, taken during the tumultuous final months of World War I. The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures a moment of intense conflict and chaos on the Western Front. In the foreground, British artillery guns are seen firing in rapid succession, their ominous smoke trails billowing into the sky. The artillery battery is in the midst of a hasty retreat, with soldiers scrambling to reposition their weapons and pack up their equipment. The battlefield behind them is a chaotic scene of destruction, with dead bodies and debris scattered about. The title "Sous le Choc" translates to "Under Fire" or "Under Shock," and the photograph powerfully conveys the sense of danger and urgency that pervaded the war. The image serves as a stark reminder of the brutal realities of trench warfare and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides. Josep Simont i Guillen was a renowned Spanish artist and photographer who documented the First World War extensively. His work, including "Sous le Choc," offers a unique perspective on the conflict and its impact on the people and landscapes of Europe. This photograph is a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in world history and a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
