A travers le champ de bataille; sur les talons de l'ennemi - l'action de la cavalerie française, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, showcasing the French cavalry in action during the Hundred Days Offensive. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, captures a pivotal moment in the conflict as French cavalry soldiers press forward, pursuing the retreating German forces between the Avre and Somme rivers in Picardy, France. The photograph, with its striking contrasts of light and shadow, transports us back in time to the trenches of the Western Front. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and armed with sabers, are focused intently on the task at hand, their determination etched on their faces. The horses, powerful and agile, are poised to charge, their ears pricked forward in anticipation. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the First World War. It captures the raw emotion and intensity of the battlefield, as well as the strategic importance of the cavalry in the final stages of the war. The image is a testament to the enduring power of photography to preserve history and evoke emotion, even as the decades pass. The photograph's creator remains unknown, adding to its mystery and allure. It is a reminder that even in the midst of war, there are moments of beauty and drama that deserve to be remembered and celebrated. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of historical images, and a testament to the enduring legacy of the First World War.
