EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the planning stages of the Battle of Messines, one of the most significant engagements of World War I. The image depicts soldiers of the 13th Brigade, part of the 2nd Australian Division, intently studying a large contour map spread out on a table. The battle, which took place on the Western Front in France in June 1917, was a prelude to the larger Third Battle of Ypres. The soldiers are likely engaged in a briefing or reconnaissance session, meticulously examining the intricacies of the terrain between Petit Pont and Nieppe, which was to be the focus of the second phase of the attack. The contour map, with its precise elevation lines, would have been essential in planning the assault and anticipating the movements of the enemy. The soldiers' focused expressions and the seriousness of the scene underscore the gravity of the situation and the importance of careful planning in the face of the great war. This historical image offers a poignant reminder of the meticulous preparations that went into the major battles of World War I and the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the front lines.
