Fine Art Print : A British Advanced observation post
Fine Art Prints From Mary Evans Picture Library
A British Advanced observation post
A ruined house is used as an advanced observation post by British officers. Situated close to German lines, the officers relay information back about the accuracy of artillery fire. The dark cloth seen behind one of the officers (with binoculars) helps to disguise any movement. Seen against a background of sky, he would inevitably attract the attention of snipers. Date: 1915

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the tense and dangerous atmosphere of the Western Front during World War I. In the foreground, a ruined house serves as an advanced observation post for British officers, who carefully observe the German lines through the use of binoculars. The importance of their mission is underscored by the dark cloth draped behind one officer, designed to conceal any movement that could attract the attention of enemy snipers. With the sky as their backdrop, the officers relay critical information back to allied artillery units, ensuring the accuracy of their fire and the success of strategic military operations. This historic photograph, taken in 1915, is a poignant reminder of the bravery and determination of soldiers during the First World War. The haunting image was captured by renowned war artist Fortunino Matania, who expertly depicted the harsh realities of the battlefield and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides.
