EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a poignant moment during the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917. The image showcases the brave men of the 8th Battalion, East Yorkshire Regiment as they make their way towards the front lines near Frezenberg. With silhouettes against a dramatic sky, this print evokes a sense of determination and sacrifice. The soldiers are seen marching with their backpacks, carrying the weight of their duty on their shoulders. Their equipment is visible, reminding us of the harsh realities faced by these courageous individuals during World War I. As they ascend towards Gheluvelt Plateau on that eventide, one cannot help but feel admiration for these British troops who valiantly fought in Flanders, Belgium. Photographed by Ernest Brooks, an acclaimed war photographer from that era, this image captures not only a historical moment but also conveys the spirit and resilience exhibited by those who served in battle. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during this tumultuous time in history. Preserved through time and now available as a fine art print, this photograph allows us to reflect upon the bravery displayed by these soldiers over a century ago. It stands as both an homage to those who fought and a testament to human strength amidst adversity.
