EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures General Sir John Monash, a renowned Australian army officer, at his headquarters in the small French village of Glisy, near Villers-Bretonneux, during the final stages of the First World War. Dated 25th May 1918, Monash, dressed in his full military regalia, stands confidently amidst the chaos and turmoil of war. As the commander of the Australian 3rd Division, Monash played a pivotal role in the Allied victory during the Second Battle of Villers-Bretonneux, which took place in April 1918. This battle marked a significant turning point in the war, preventing the Germans from advancing towards Amiens and Paris. Monash's strategic planning and leadership skills were instrumental in the successful defense of the village and the subsequent counter-attack. The image of Monash at his headquarters in Glisy encapsulates the determination and resilience of the Allied forces during the Western Front. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the Great War and the crucial role that individual leaders played in shaping its outcome.
