Victoire Italienne - On the Lower Piave River - Bersagliers Cyclists Armed with a Machine Gun Hold Back the Austrians, on the Road to Fossalta, 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative photograph from the second World War era, taken from the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The image captures a pivotal moment in the Italian campaign of World War I, specifically the Second Battle of the Piave River. In the photograph, a group of Italian Bersagliers cyclists, armed with a machine gun, are shown holding back the advancing Austrian forces. The soldiers are positioned on the side of the road, their bicycles leaning against the trees, as they focus intently on the enemy lines in the distance. The machine gun, a formidable weapon of the time, is mounted on a tripod, ready to be fired at a moment's notice. The scene is set against the backdrop of the rugged terrain of the Piave River, with the trees and bushes providing a stark contrast to the uniforms of the soldiers. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the armed forces during the First World War. The cyclists, who were known for their mobility and agility, were an essential part of the Italian army's strategy to counter the Austrian advance. Their bravery and determination are evident in this image, as they stand their ground against the enemy, despite the potential danger. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the military tactics and equipment used during the war. It also serves as a testament to the resilience and courage of the soldiers who fought on the Italian front. The image has been preserved in the archives of Heritage Images and continues to be a source of inspiration and reflection for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the history of the First World War.
