EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the desolate landscape of the Battlefield of Craonne, France, following the fierce fighting of May 4, 1917, during the First World War. The ruins of buildings and debris scattered across the terrain tell the story of the intense battle that took place on the Chemin des Dames ridge in the Aisne region of Picardy. In the distance, the ridge is still visible, its crest now scarred by the destruction wrought by the conflict. Soldiers, both French and German, can be seen among the ruins, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and determination. The image is taken from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2', published by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of war on people and places, and serves as a testament to the bravery and resilience of those who lived through it.
