Wailly, near Arras, July 18, 1918: A Haunting Scene of Ruins and an Aerial Formation This evocative photograph captures the desolate scene of Wailly, a small village near Arras in northern France, three miles to the east, on July 18, 1918. The remnants of a once-proud church and a destroyed street lie in the foreground, a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of World War I. The ruins stand in stark contrast to the clear blue sky above, where an aerial formation of planes can be seen flying in the distance. The photograph was taken during the final months of the war, when the Allied forces, including the 3rd Canadian Division, were making their final push towards victory. Among the soldiers who may have witnessed this scene firsthand was Gunner Vivian John Cummings, born on July 31, 1875. He was a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force and served with the 1st Great Regiments of the Topographical Section, which was responsible for providing maps and other intelligence to support military operations. This photograph offers a glimpse into the historical context of the time, providing a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War. The ruins of Wailly serve as a poignant reminder of the devastation caused by the conflict, while the aerial formation symbolizes the determination and resilience of the Allied forces in their quest for victory.
