EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of Hangard, a small French village located near the Western Front during the First World War. The image, taken from the German lines on August 18, 1918, shows an aeroplane soaring in the sky above the village. The annotation on the reverse of the print reveals that the hill in the foreground was the site of advances by the 43rd and 116th battalions on August 4, 1918. The use of tanks and cavalry in the attack is also noted. The photograph features prominently in the military history of the First World War, specifically in the campaigns of the 3rd Canadian Division of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. The division's topographical drawing records the location of the village and the strategic importance of the hill in the context of the larger battle. The annotation also includes the details of Gunner Vivian John Cummings, a member of the 3rd Canadian Division, who was born on July 31, 1875. The inclusion of this personal detail adds a human element to the historical record, reminding us of the individual experiences and sacrifices made during the war. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the aerial warfare and ground battles that characterized the First World War. It also serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in the conflict, and the role of technology in shaping the course of military history.
