EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the Second Battle of Arras in September 1918, as Canadian cavalry troops make their way towards the forward area near Cherisy on the Western Front in France. The Great War was entering its final stages, and the Allied forces were making a decisive push to break through the German defenses and bring an end to the conflict. The Canadian cavalry, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and mounted on horses, can be seen moving along a dusty road, their faces focused and determined as they advance. The landscape around them is barren and desolate, a testament to the devastation wrought by years of war. In the background, the ruins of buildings and the smoky haze of battle can be seen, reminding us of the intense and brutal fighting that had taken place in this very area. The Second Battle of Arras was one of the largest and most significant engagements of the Hundred Days Offensive, a series of battles that marked the final Allied offensive of World War I. The battle saw the Canadian Corps make a successful breakthrough of the German defenses, leading to the capture of Vimy Ridge and the eventual defeat of the German army. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the Great War, and the indelible mark it left on the world's history. The photograph is a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit, and a reminder of the importance of peace and unity in the face of adversity.
