EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grim reality of life in the trenches during the First World War, as experienced by an Australian soldier at Croix du Bac near Armentieres, northern France, on 18 May 1916. The soldier, wearing a World War I helmet and a protective gas mask, intently studies the wind direction indicator in his hands. The importance of this simple yet crucial tool is evident as he takes every necessary precaution against the deadly threat of poison gas. The wind direction indicator was used to determine which way the wind was blowing, allowing soldiers to assess the risk of gas attacks and take appropriate action. The soldier's tense expression and focused gaze convey the heightened sense of danger and uncertainty that was a constant presence in the trenches. The image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the Australian and Allied forces during the Great War, and the innovative methods they employed to survive in the face of unimaginable challenges.
