EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Tower of the Church of Notre Dame de Brebieres in Albert, France, during the tumultuous years of World War I. Atop the tower, the golden figure of the Virgin Mary holding aloft the infant Jesus appears precariously, a testament to the enduring faith and resilience of the community amidst the chaos of war. The statue, a cherished symbol of hope and peace, had been damaged during a German shelling in 1915. Local legend held that when the statue fell, the war would come to an end. Despite the best efforts of French engineers to secure it in place, the statue finally succumbed to the relentless barrage of enemy fire in April 1918, during the German Spring Offensive. This image, taken in 1916, offers a poignant glimpse into the historical significance of this iconic landmark and the profound impact of the Great War on the people of Albert and the world at large.
