EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken on September 11, 1917, provides a hauntingly beautiful yet poignant view of Polygon Wood, near Ypres, Belgium, during the First World War. The image captures the tranquil scene of the woodland area, now devoid of the chaos and destruction that once defined this place. However, this serene image belies the intense conflict that took place here just a few days prior. On September 26-27, 1917, during the second phase of the Battle of Passchendaele, a small but significant battle unfolded in Polygon Wood. British forces, under the command of Lieutenant General Plumer, launched an attack on the German lines in an effort to gain ground and push towards Passchendaele. The battle was marked by heavy rain, which turned the ground into a quagmire, making progress slow and arduous for both sides. Despite the challenges, the British forces were ultimately successful in their mission, capturing the German lines and securing a strategic position. The victory came at a great cost, with thousands of soldiers from both sides losing their lives in the muddy, bloody battlefield. This aerial photograph, taken by British reconnaissance, offers a unique perspective of the battlefield, revealing the intricate patterns of trenches and shell craters that scarred the land. It serves as a reminder of the brutal reality of war and the sacrifices made by soldiers during this pivotal moment in history. Polygon Wood, now a peaceful and picturesque woodland area, stands as a testament to the resilience of nature and the enduring legacy of the First World War.
