EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les Journees glorieuses de la Somme; La progression du 12 septembre, a l'est de Clery... 1916," offers a haunting glimpse into the Battle of the Somme during World War I. The creator of this image remains unknown, but it was published in "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The image captures the third phase of the assault on the German lines, specifically the bombardment of the German trench known as the "Berlingots," as viewed from the French trench at From. The battlefield landscape is a stark contrast of destruction and desolation, with the remnants of trees and debris scattered across the terrain. Soldiers can be seen in the distance, making their way forward through the smoke and chaos of the battlefield. The Battle of the Somme, fought between July and November 1916, was one of the largest battles of World War I and is considered one of the bloodiest in human history. The battle took place on the Western Front in France and involved the British and French armies attempting to force a breakthrough in the German lines. Despite initial gains, the battle ultimately ended in a stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the brutal realities of trench warfare and the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War. The image's haunting beauty and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on military history, the First World War, or the history of France and Germany during this period.
