EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment British troops, led by an officer, enter the ruined and shattered town of Pronne-en-Mlantois, France in March 1917 during the First World War. The historical image portrays the 1st Encountered Infantry Brigade, part of the British Expeditionary Force, making their way through the desolate streets of the once proud and prosperous town, now reduced to a shadow of its former self due to the ravages of war. The soldiers, with determined expressions on their faces, march in column formation, carrying their equipment and weapons, as they advance towards the unknown dangers that lie ahead. The background of the photograph reveals the extensive damage inflicted on the buildings and infrastructure of the town, with debris scattered on the streets and the remnants of what were once beautiful structures now reduced to rubble. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on civilian populations and the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the front lines. This powerful photograph is a testament to the resilience and bravery of the British army during World War 1 and is an important historical document that should be preserved and shared for generations to come.
