La Victoire de Douaumont - Le Fort de Vaux vu à 250 Mètres, le 24 octobre, avant la deuxième attaque; au départ de l'attaque initiale, notre première ligne était à 1000m.
EDITORS COMMENTS
(The Victory of Douaumont: Fort Vaux seen from 250 meters, October 24, before the second attack; at the start of the initial attack, our first line was 1000 meters away.) This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the Battle of Verdun during the First World War. The image, titled "La Victoire de Douaumont: Le Fort de Vaux vu à 250 Mètres," was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916, as part of the collection "La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916." The photograph depicts the devastated landscape of the battlefield surrounding Fort Vaux, a strategic fortification that was the site of intense fighting during the Battle of Verdun. The fort, which is located in northeastern France, was the target of relentless attacks by German forces between February and December 1916. The photograph shows the remnants of the fort's walls, pockmarked with the scars of shell damage. In the foreground, soldiers are seen making their way across the battlefield, their expressions somber and determined. The photograph captures the sense of destruction and loss that characterized the Western Front during the First World War. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the devastating impact it can have on the landscape and those who fight in it. The exact creator of this photograph is unknown, but it is a powerful testament to the events of the Battle of Verdun and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the First World War. The photograph's haunting image and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection focused on the 20th century, military history, or the First World War.
