EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite and vigilance among Australian soldiers during the brutal battles of the First World War. Taken on May 18, 1916, near the northern French town of Armentieres, the scene depicts a group of weary Australian troops huddled in a front line trench at Croix du Bac. The soldiers are intently focused on the world beyond the trench, using a mirror periscope to observe the enemy's movements. The mirror periscope, a vital piece of equipment during trench warfare, allowed soldiers to see over the top of the trench and into No Man's Land without exposing themselves to enemy fire. The use of this technology was crucial for gathering intelligence and planning attacks. Despite the grim surroundings and the ever-present danger of enemy fire, there is a sense of camaraderie and determination among the soldiers. Their expressions are focused and resolute, a testament to the unwavering spirit of the Australian Army during the Great War. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of trench warfare and the sacrifices made by soldiers on the Western Front. It is a powerful visual representation of the courage and resilience of the Australian troops during World War 1.
