EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Western Front during the First World War, the French army pressed on with unyielding determination and courage. In this illustration from 1916, a thrilling scene unfolds as the French force rushes forward, taking possession of a newly formed crater following a devastating explosion. The men, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, move with purpose and resolve, their faces etched with the weight of the great war that was being waged around them. The deeds of these soldiers, and the valour they displayed, would become the stuff of stories told for generations. The 1910s were a time of great upheaval and sacrifice, as the world was plunged into a conflict that would forever change the course of history. The military machine of the French army, with its unwavering commitment to the cause, played a pivotal role in the events that unfolded on the battlefield. This evocative image, captured by renowned illustrator Cyrus Cuneo, offers a glimpse into the raw and unforgettable moments of the Western Front. The smoke and dust of the battlefield rise up around the soldiers, adding to the sense of urgency and danger. The crater, a reminder of the destructive power of the weapons used in the war, serves as a stark contrast to the small figures of the men, who continue to advance, undeterred. As we reflect on the events of this period, it is important to remember the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the trenches, and the indelible impact that the First World War had on the world. This illustration, with its vivid details and powerful imagery, serves as a poignant reminder of the thrilling and often harrowing experiences that defined the Western Front during the Great War.
