EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a harrowing moment during the First World War. Titled "French troops crossing a village street under German fire" it depicts a group of brave French soldiers running through an avenue while bullets rain down upon them. The image, taken between 1914-1915, showcases the perilous conditions faced by these men on the Belgian Frontier. The war-torn buildings in the background serve as a haunting reminder of the destruction caused by this global conflict. Amidst the chaos and danger, these courageous individuals press forward, determined to fulfill their duty despite facing imminent danger. The wintry season adds another layer of hardship to their already treacherous situation. With snow-covered streets and freezing temperatures, every step becomes more challenging for these soldiers who are risking their lives for their country. As we gaze at this photograph, we cannot help but feel immense respect for those depicted here. Their bravery and resilience shine through even in this frozen moment captured in time. This poignant image is part of "The Great World War - A History". Volume II edited by Frank A Mumby, published around 1920 by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in London. It serves as a stark reminder of the sacrifices made during World War I and honors all those who fought valiantly on both sides of the conflict.
