EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the remnants of a French dummy emplacement from World War I, located in a dense forest. The image dates back to 1916, during the height of the Great War. In the foreground, we see the intricately constructed dummy gun emplacement, designed to deceive enemy forces about the location and number of real artillery pieces. The meticulously crafted details of the dummy emplacement are evident, from the camouflaged wooden walls to the simulated gun barrels. To the left of the photograph, the real emplacement, hidden amongst the trees, reveals the true power and scale of the French artillery forces. The real gun, with its massive barrel and intricate machinery, dwarfs the dummy emplacement, highlighting the deception that was an integral part of trench warfare during World War I. The use of dummy emplacements was a common tactic employed by both sides during the war, as they provided a way to mislead enemy intelligence and protect the location of real artillery batteries. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the strategic thinking and innovation that characterized the military efforts of the French forces during this period. The image also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in the woods of France during World War I. The forest, once a battlefield, now stands as a testament to the past, with the remnants of the dummy emplacement serving as a reminder of the complex military strategies that were employed during this pivotal moment in world history.
