EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ypres Salient before and after the Second Battle of Ypres, April 22-May 13, First World War, 1915. This print showcases a map depicting the positions of allied forces in and around Ypres, Belgium during one of the most significant battles of World War I. The image reveals the strategic movements and territorial gains made by French, Canadian, and British troops as they fought against German forces. The shaded area on the map represents ground won by the Germans following their devastating gas attack during this battle. The use of chemical warfare marked a horrifying turning point in modern warfare tactics. It forever changed how soldiers would experience combat on the front lines. This historical artifact is taken from 'The Great World War - A History, ' edited by Frank A Mumby and published in London around 1920. It offers valuable insights into one of history's deadliest conflicts while honoring those who fought bravely for their countries. As we reflect upon this photograph print today, it serves as a reminder of the immense sacrifices made during World War I. It also underscores our responsibility to remember these events so that future generations may strive for peace.
