EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time during the tumultuous days of World War I. In the midst of the Battle of Cambrai, British soldiers from the 1st Leicester Regiment, part of the 6th Division, can be seen navigating a captured German second line trench near Ribecourt, France. The image showcases their resilience and determination as they bravely face the horrors of war. The focal point of this photograph is an imposing tank belonging to H Battalion, affectionately named Hyacinth and proudly painted on its side. However, fate had other plans for this mechanical behemoth as it stalled while attempting to cross the treacherous trench. This unexpected setback serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst advanced weaponry and technology, victory was never guaranteed. The date etched into history alongside this powerful image is November 20th, 1917 - a day forever marked by bravery and sacrifice. These brave men fought valiantly on foreign soil in defense of their homeland during one of history's most devastating conflicts. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph today, let us remember those who served with honor and courage during these dark times. Their unwavering dedication to duty should inspire us all to strive for peace and unity in our own lives.
