EDITORS COMMENTS
An awe-inspiring moment frozen in time, this print captures an impressive ceremony held near the firing line during the intense battles of the Isonzo. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless brave soldiers during World War One. In the presence of a vast assembly of troops, this solemn event took place amidst the chaos and uncertainty of war. The altar, standing tall and proud in the open air, served as a beacon of hope and solace for those seeking divine intervention in these trying times. March 1917 marked a significant chapter in history when men from different backgrounds united under one roof to seek blessings and find strength through their shared faith. This photograph showcases not only their unwavering dedication to their religion but also their unyielding commitment to protect their nation. The large group gathered here consists solely of men - warriors who have set aside their differences to fight side by side against a common enemy. Their faces reflect determination mixed with reverence as they participate in this sacred ceremony. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from nearly a century ago, let us remember those who fought valiantly on both sides, regardless of nationality or creed. May it serve as a testament to humanity's resilience even amidst unimaginable conflict.
