EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print is taken from the historic film 'The Battle of the Somme,' created by Geoffrey Malins and John McDowell in 1916. The image captures the grim reality of the first day of the Battle of the Somme at Beaumont Hamel during World War I. Although some scenes in the film were staged before the battle commenced, much of the footage was compiled from the actual events of July 1st, 1916. In this still, British soldiers can be seen advancing towards the enemy lines with determined expressions, their faces etched with the weight of the impending conflict. The muddy terrain and desolate landscape serve as a stark reminder of the harsh conditions endured by the soldiers during this devastating battle. With the roar of guns and explosions in the background, the image encapsulates the raw emotion and intensity of the Great War. This poignant snapshot of history provides a powerful testament to the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Battle of the Somme, a pivotal moment in the annals of World War I.
