EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lantern slide image transports us back to the harsh realities of the Western Front during World War I. Titled "Dug-outs at Feuilleres, France - March 1917," the photograph captures the grim living conditions endured by British troops as they sought refuge from the relentless barrage of artillery fire and the unforgiving elements. The scene unfolds in a dimly lit dugout, a makeshift shelter carved into the side of a hill. Soldiers huddle together, their faces etched with fatigue and concern. The cramped quarters are a stark contrast to the open fields and rolling hills of the French countryside visible through the entrance. The walls of the dugout are lined with rough-hewn wooden planks and blankets, providing a meager barrier against the cold and damp. A small fire burns in the corner, casting flickering shadows on the faces of the men. The air is thick with the acrid smell of smoke and damp earth. Despite the harsh conditions, there is a sense of camaraderie among the soldiers. They share stories, pass around a cigarette, or simply rest, knowing that they are in this together. The dugout serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination of the men who fought in the trenches during the Great War. This vintage lantern slide, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a poignant glimpse into the past, allowing us to bear witness to a moment in history that continues to shape our collective memory.
