EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of the Charge of La Division Aérienne, or the Aerial Division, during the Battle of the Somme in 1918. The image shows a group of pilots and ground crew from the division, as they lead their infantry charges into battle. The Aerial Division, a pioneering military aviation unit, played a crucial role in the final stages of the Battle of the Somme, providing reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and support for ground troops. On the reverse side of the print, the inscription reads "L'Aviation Maritime, Gardienne de la Loire-OCEN (Maritime Aviation, Guardian of the Loire-Navy)" and "Pointe de Graves, Juin 1918." This indicates that the photograph was taken during a different period in the military career of Maurice Busset, the photographer. Busset, born in 1879, served in both the Aerial Division and the Maritime Aviation during World War I. The topographical and aeronautical history depicted in this photograph is a testament to the significant role that military aviation played during the conflict. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a unique insight into the experiences of those who served in the Aerial Division during the Battle of the Somme and the Maritime Aviation at Pointe de Graves. Maurice Busset's work as a photographer during World War I is an important contribution to the historical record of the conflict. His images provide a visual narrative of the events and people involved, offering a glimpse into the past and preserving the memories of those who lived through it. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the war and the crucial role that military aviation played in shaping its outcome.
