EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative illustration captures the raw intensity of the Battle of Guillemont, a pivotal moment in the larger British offensive during the Somme campaign of World War I. The date is September 3, 1916, and the scene depicts a furious charge of Irish troops as they engage in hand-to-hand combat at a German machine-gun post which miraculously survived the preliminary Allied artillery bombardment. The 7th Division of the Irish Guards, part of the 3rd Guards Brigade, led this assault in an attempt to take the fortified village of Guillemont, located in northern France. The Battle of Guillemont began on this day as part of the greater British offensive which commenced with the Battle of the Somme in July 1916. The Irish soldiers' determination and bravery are evident as they fiercely attack the German positions, with the image showing the intensity of the close combat. The machine-gun post, which had managed to withstand the initial Allied bombardment, became a focal point of the battle, making it an important objective for the British forces. This historical illustration, from the ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, provides a vivid account of the Battle of Guillemont and the intense fighting that took place during the Second World War. The Irish troops' unyielding spirit and determination are on full display, as they charged forward against the German defenses in a desperate bid to gain ground. This poignant image serves as a testament to the courage and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in this pivotal battle during the Somme campaign.
