This print captures a significant moment in history - British soldiers on the Western Front, northern France during the First World War in 1916. The image showcases a group of brave soldiers returning after the successful capture of Lesboeufs, led by their fifes and drums. The Guards Division, renowned for their courage and determination, launched an attack on the village of Lesboeufs on September 15th, 1916. After eight days of intense fighting against German forces, they emerged victorious and reclaimed this strategic location. This photograph serves as a testament to their unwavering spirit and dedication. The composition beautifully portrays the solemn yet triumphant atmosphere that surrounded these men. The fife players stand tall with their instruments while drummers beat out a rhythm that echoes through time.
