EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the preparations for the Italian Offensive of the Isonzo during World War I. The image, taken in 1917, shows decking being laid over boats on the banks of the Isonzo River in Italy. The river, also known as the Soca in Slovenia, was a crucial strategic location during the battles of the Isonzo, which took place between May 1915 and July 1917. The Italian army is seen making last-minute adjustments to their logistical arrangements, as soldiers and support personnel work together to construct makeshift footbridges and prepare boats for transport across the river. The bridge in the background, with its arched structure, adds to the sense of movement and activity in the scene. The photograph is from the second volume of "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919," published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924. This publication was a leading source of war reporting during the First World War, and the photograph provides a unique glimpse into the daily life and operations of the Italian army on the Isonzo Front. The image is a poignant reminder of the human effort and ingenuity required to wage war, as well as the harsh realities and challenges faced by soldiers and support personnel in the field. The decking laid over the boats suggests that the Italian army was preparing for a major offensive, and the scene is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices and struggles that marked the Italian experience of the First World War.
