EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the British soldiers on the Western Front in Belgium during the First World War, specifically in 1917. The image, taken by an unknown creator and featured in "The Great World War: A History" showcases a bustling scene on the Pilkem road as troops make their way to the fighting zone. Columns of vehicles and soldiers can be seen alongside Red Cross ambulances and horses with mules. During the Battle of Pilckem Ridge, which took place from July 31st to August 2nd, 1917, both Anglo-French armies successfully captured Pilckem Ridge and surrounding areas. This historic battle was part of the larger Third Battle of Ypres or commonly known as Passchendaele. The black-and-white photograph not only provides a glimpse into this significant moment in history but also highlights various elements such as transportation, warfare equipment, and brave individuals who served their country. It serves as a testament to the resilience and determination displayed by these British soldiers amidst challenging circumstances. Preserved through time by Heritage Images, this print allows us to reflect upon the sacrifices made during World War I while honoring those who fought for freedom. As we observe this image today, it reminds us of our shared history and encourages us to remember those who bravely served their nations during times of conflict.
