EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and evocative image captures the intensity and determination of the Allied Infantry forces during the Hundred Days Offensive in September 1918, as they storm and seize the entrenchments of the Wotan Line near Queant in France. The Wotan Line, also known as the Wotan Stellung, was a formidable German defensive position that had long stymied Allied advances on the Western Front. In this moment, Canadian infantrymen, their faces set with focus and resolve, charge forward through the mud and debris, their bayonets fixed and ready to engage the enemy. The smoke from explosions and gunfire fills the air, adding to the chaos and confusion of the battlefield. The success of this attack was a significant turning point in the final stages of World War I, and marked the beginning of the end for the German forces. This poignant photograph offers a glimpse into the raw and unforgettable experience of trench warfare during this pivotal moment in history.
