EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print by Bob Battersby, we are transported to the serene landscape of Thiepval in France's Nord Picardy region. Standing tall and proud against the clear blue sky is the magnificent Lutyens memorial, a solemn tribute to the brave soldiers who went missing during the Somme battle. As we gaze upon this architectural marvel, our hearts are filled with both admiration and sorrow. The sheer scale of this memorial is awe-inspiring, as it honors over 73,000 soldiers who have no known grave. Each name etched into its stone walls represents a life lost too soon, a sacrifice made for freedom and peace. The meticulous craftsmanship of Sir Edwin Lutyens is evident in every detail of this structure - from its grand arches to intricate carvings - creating an atmosphere that commands reverence. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, the memorial seems to blend seamlessly with nature while still commanding attention. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tranquility, war has left an indelible mark on these lands. Battersby's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of profound respect for those fallen heroes. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect on their bravery and sacrifices while reminding us never to forget their names or stories. This remarkable photograph transports us across time and space – allowing us to pay homage to those whose lives were forever altered by conflict.
