EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of detonation at Hawthorne Ridge, near Beaumont Hamel, during the opening stages of the Battle of the Somme on July 1, 1916. The massive explosion, caused by the detonation of a British mine, signalled the beginning of one of the largest and deadliest battles in World War I. The Battle of the Somme was a major offensive by the Allied forces against the German army, with the ultimate objective of relieving the pressure on the French army at Verdun and making significant gains in the region. The use of mines, such as the one depicted in this image, was a common tactic employed by both sides to gain an advantage in the trenches. However, in this instance, the success of the British mine was short-lived. The explosion alerted the German forces to the imminent British attack, resulting in major losses on the British side during the first day of the battle. The Battle of the Somme is now remembered as one of the bloodiest battles in history, with over one million casualties on both sides. This photograph, taken from the Albert collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, provides a haunting reminder of the devastating impact of war and the human cost of conflict. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the Great War and the enduring significance of this pivotal moment in history.
