A travers le champ de bataille; en seconde ligne dans les blés; finie la guerre de 1918
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Across the battlefield; in the second line in the wheat; the war of 1918 is over) is a poignant and evocative image captured during the final days of the First World War. The photograph, taken in 1918, is from the "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris in 1924. The creator of the image remains unknown. The photograph depicts a group of French soldiers, huddled together in a wheat field, as they advance across the battlefield. The trenches and their dreadful tramping are left behind, replaced by the promise of a new beginning. The soldiers, dressed in their uniforms, carry their weapons and supplies, their faces etched with the weariness and determination of men who have endured years of conflict. The image is a poignant reminder of the Hundred Days Offensive, the final major offensive campaign of the First World War, which began on August 8, 1918, and ended on November 11, 1918. The offensive marked a turning point in the war, with the Allied forces making significant gains against the German forces. The photograph captures the spirit of the soldiers as they moved forward, leaving the trenches and the horrors of war behind them. The image is a powerful testament to the resilience and determination of the soldiers who fought in the First World War. It is a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during this global conflict, and the enduring impact it had on the world. The photograph is a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the experiences of soldiers during the final days of the war.
