EDITORS COMMENTS
(On the Western Front: The Taking of Vimy Ridge; Canadian Light Cavalry Engaging in the Fight), 1917, is an evocative photograph taken during the First World War. The image, from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, captures a moment of intense action on the battlefield of Vimy Ridge. The photograph depicts a group of Canadian light cavalrymen, mounted on their horses, charging forward into the fray. The riders, dressed in their military uniforms and armed with rifles, display determined expressions as they advance, their horses pricked up and ready for battle. The scene is set against the backdrop of a muddy, war-torn landscape, with the distinctive rolling hills of the Pas de Calais region of France visible in the distance. The Battle of Vimy Ridge, fought from April 9 to 12, 1917, was a significant victory for the Canadian Corps during the First World War. The capture of this strategic position from the Germans marked a turning point in the war for Canada and helped to boost morale both at home and abroad. This photograph, taken during the battle's final stages, offers a glimpse into the bravery and determination of the Canadian soldiers who fought to secure this important victory. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers and their horses during the First World War. It is also a testament to the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve historical moments for future generations to remember and learn from. The creator of this photograph remains unknown, adding to the mystery and intrigue surrounding this powerful image from the First World War era. The photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical military images or First World War memorabilia.
