EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage lantern slide depicts a poignant moment during the Battle of the Ancre in World War I, which took place between October 1 and November 18, 1916. The battle was a part of the larger Battle of the Somme and was fought primarily in the area of Beaumont Hamel in France. The image captures a group of German prisoners of war being taken by soldiers of the 51st Division. The 13th of November, 1916, marked a significant victory for the British forces as they managed to capture the German front line at Beaumont Hamel, a feat that had eluded them for months. The expression on the faces of the German prisoners and the determined gaze of the British soldiers convey the intense emotions and the harsh realities of war. The image is a poignant reminder of the human cost of the conflict and the complexities of the military dynamics during this period. This photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the history of the Battle of the Ancre and the larger context of World War I.
