Canada's Great Day at Courcelette, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in Canadian history during the First World War. Taken during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in September 1916, it showcases the Canadian Corps fighting for the first time on the battlefield. The image is part of "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VII: The Autumn Campaign of 1916" edited by J. A. Hammerton. In this poignant scene, we see a group of brave Canadian soldiers standing together amidst bomb damage and destruction. Their faces reflect determination and resilience as they prepare to face an uncertain future on foreign soil. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of their sacrifice and unwavering commitment to defending their country. The location is Courcelette, situated in Picardy, France – a place that witnessed intense battles and countless lives lost. As these men shelter from further explosions, one cannot help but ponder upon the sheer magnitude of death surrounding them. Although the creator remains unknown, this print encapsulates both action and emotion within its frame. It immortalizes those who fought valiantly for Canada's freedom during one of history's most devastating conflicts. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from over a century ago, let us remember those who selflessly gave their lives so that future generations could live in peace.
