September 1916: British and French Troops Advance Towards the Front Line at Maricourt, Somme This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the First World War as British troops, some mounted on horses, prepare to leave their temporary encampment and advance towards the front line at Maricourt in the Somme region of France. The date is September 1916, and the Great War, also known as World War I, is entering its third year. The British soldiers, dressed in their uniforms and carrying their equipment, are accompanied by a few French soldiers, who can be seen in the background. The scene is one of determined resolve as the troops set out to engage the enemy and push forward in the ongoing battle for control of the Somme. The First Battle of the Somme, which took place from July to November 1916, was one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the First World War. The British and French forces, under the command of General Douglas Haig and General Robert Nivelle, respectively, launched a massive offensive against the German lines in an attempt to break through and gain ground. Despite initial gains, the battle quickly bogged down into a brutal and costly stalemate, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The photograph of the British and French troops leaving for the front line at Maricourt serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides during this pivotal moment in world history. The photograph, taken from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, is a powerful testament to the bravery and determination of the soldiers who fought in the First World War, and serves as an important historical record of this significant moment in time.
