EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intense focus and determination of Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour, a French trumpeter of the 46th Artillery Regiment, during the Battle of Souchez in World War I. The image, taken in 1916, depicts Berne-Bellecour standing at attention, his trumpet raised to his lips as he prepares to sound the call that would coordinate the movements of his artillery unit. The battle of Souchez was a significant engagement in the Second Battle of Artois, fought between February 10 and 16, 1916. The French forces, including the 46th Artillery, were attempting to dislodge the Germans from their positions in the fortified town of Souchez. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare during this period. Berne-Bellecour's uniform is covered in dirt and grime, and his expression conveys the physical and emotional toll of the conflict. The topographical details in the background, including the barren landscape and the smoky sky, further emphasize the harsh conditions under which the soldiers fought. Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour was born in 1874 and died in 1939. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like him during the First World War. It is also a testament to the crucial role that music and communication played in the coordination and morale of the troops on the battlefield.
