EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the "Glorious Charge of the Fusiliers at St. Eloi, 1916". Taken during the Battle of St. Eloi, which raged from March to April in that fateful year, this image showcases a significant moment in World War I history. The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers can be seen advancing fearlessly through a landscape scarred by mine explosions. Despite the treacherous conditions, these brave soldiers lost only one man before reaching the German wire. To their surprise, they encountered German survivors who were ready to surrender. This powerful photograph is part of "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume VI" edited by J. A. Hammerton and published in London in 1916. The image depicts not only the intensity of battle but also highlights themes such as courage, sacrifice, and humanity amidst war's chaos. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when nations clashed on Flanders' frontlines. The determination etched on each soldier's face serves as a reminder of their unwavering commitment to protect their country and fellow comrades. This print is an invaluable piece that pays homage to those who fought bravely during World War I. It stands as a testament to the resilience and heroism displayed by men like those depicted here – ordinary individuals thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Let us remember their sacrifices as we reflect upon this remarkable image captured by an unknown creator over a century ago.
