EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the desolate and devastated battlefield of Verdun in north eastern France during the First World War, on the fateful date of 1 June 1916. Taken from a height of 400 metres, the image offers a haunting and bird's-eye view of the destruction wrought by the intense and prolonged fighting that took place between the French and German armies. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the vast expanses of land turned into a war zone, with the once lush and verdant fields now reduced to a moon-like terrain of craters and rubble. The Battle of Verdun, which lasted for ten months, was one of the longest and deadliest engagements of the Great War, with estimates suggesting that over 700,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. The use of aerial reconnaissance played a crucial role in the battle, allowing commanders to assess the battlefield situation and plan their strategies accordingly. This evocative image offers a unique perspective on the realities of war and the human cost of conflict.
