EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of respite for British soldiers of the 10th Royal Fusiliers during the intense fighting at the Battle of Arras in France, 1917. The scene unfolds in a captured German dugout, located near the crossroads of Feuchy, just a few miles from the Western Front. The date is April 9, 1917. The soldiers, weary from the brutal battles that had taken place in the previous days, gather around a makeshift fire, warming their hands and sharing stories. The 9th Division, to which the 10th Royal Fusiliers belonged, had launched a successful attack on the German lines at Arras, making significant gains in the offensive. The soldiers' expressions convey a mix of relief and determination, reflecting the harsh realities of trench warfare during World War I. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human side of the conflict, revealing the camaraderie and resilience of the troops in the face of adversity.
