EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and determination of the Canadians during their successful advance at Courcelette in the Battle of the Somme on September 15, 1916. The capture of the sugar refinery at Courcelette marked a significant turning point in the battle, with the Canadians taking control of the entire village and securing over 1,200 German prisoners, including 32 officers, two guns, and a large number of machine guns and several heavy minenwerfers or trench mortars. The fierce fighting is evident in the expressions and postures of the soldiers, their rifles at the ready as they move forward against the German defenses. The battle of the Somme, one of the largest and bloodiest engagements of World War I, saw both sides suffer heavy losses, with the Canadians losing over 20,000 men during the battle. This historical photograph, taken by renowned war artist Phil May, also known as Matania, provides a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in this pivotal battle of the Western Front.
