EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene from an observation balloon above the battlefields of Thelus near Arras on the Western Front during World War I on September 26, 1915. The image, taken from the collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique perspective of the war that was raging below. The world was embroiled in the first global conflict, with the Great War tearing through Europe and claiming countless lives. The Western Front, stretching from the North Sea to the Swiss border, was the scene of some of the most intense fighting. The use of observation balloons was a crucial aspect of the war effort, providing valuable intelligence to both sides. In this photograph, we see the vast expanse of the battlefield below, with the undulating terrain of northern France stretching out before us. The intricate network of trenches, dugouts, and fortifications can be seen, as well as the smoke rising from the explosions that were a constant presence on the front lines. The observation balloon itself is a fascinating sight, with its large, round shape and the delicate lines of the tether that anchors it to the ground. The crew, dressed in their heavy coats and goggles, can be seen in the gondola, scanning the terrain below through their binoculars. Their role was a dangerous one, as the balloons were often targeted by enemy fire, and a single bullet could bring the entire operation crashing down to earth. Despite the perils, the use of observation balloons proved to be a valuable tool in the war effort, providing valuable intelligence that helped shape the course of the conflict. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the world of reconnaissance during the Great War, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought and died on the Western Front.
