EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the destruction of the Oise Bridge near Villiers-Cotterets during the early days of World War I in 1914. The bridge, a vital strategic point, was blown up by the retreating French forces to prevent its capture by the advancing German army. In the chaotic scene, members of the 18th Ambulance Division of the 6th French Army are seen crossing the now makeshift bridge of boats, transporting the wounded to safety. The destruction of the bridge caused significant disruption to the French supply lines and added to the already chaotic situation on the Western Front. The image is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on infrastructure and the lives of those caught up in the conflict. This historical photograph, taken from the collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective on the events of the First World War and the determination of the soldiers to keep moving forward despite the challenges they faced.
