EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the final days of the First World War, as men of the 32nd Australian Battalion make their way north of the Somme River near Clery, France. The date is August 31, 1918, and the soldiers are advancing towards Mont St Quentin, a strategic hill that had been held by the Germans since the early stages of the war. The scene is one of determination and focus, as the Australian troops, part of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC), march steadily through the muddy terrain, their weapons at the ready. The vast expanse of the Somme stretches out behind them, a reminder of the long and arduous journey they have undertaken. The 32nd Battalion was one of several Australian units that played a crucial role in the Allied offensive that began in August 1918, which ultimately led to the end of the war. This photograph offers a glimpse into the lives of these brave men, who left their homes and families behind to fight for their country and help bring about the end of the Great War. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps during the First World War, and the courage and resilience they displayed in the face of adversity. It is a powerful testament to the enduring spirit of the ANZACs and their contributions to the war effort.
