EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image, titled "English Attack of July 31, 1917; British infantry advance" by A Forestier, captures the raw intensity and chaos of the Battle of Passchendaele during the First World War. The scene unfolds along the upper reaches of the River Steenbeck, with British infantry advancing through the thick smoke of the barrage, their determined faces set against the backdrop of the devastated landscape. In the foreground, an explosion from a large German projectile illuminates the battlefield, casting an eerie glow on the surrounding bomb craters and damaged trees. The meticulously drawn pencil illustration, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, offers a poignant glimpse into the brutal realities of trench warfare. The letterbox format emphasizes the panoramic scope of the battlefield, while the use of contrasting white and black tones adds depth and texture to the image. The soldiers, depicted in various stages of advancing through the smoke and under fire, embody the courage and resilience of the British armed forces during this pivotal campaign in the Third Battle of Ypres. The image serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women of the armed services during the First World War, and stands as an enduring testament to the human spirit in the face of adversity.
