EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Attaque du Mont-Pertois; Prisonniers descendant les pentes du Pertois: au sommet du Mont (The Attack on Mont-Pertois; Prisoners Descending the Slopes of Pertois: At the Summit of the Mountain) is a poignant image captured during the First World War, showcased in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph depicts a group of German prisoners of war (POWs) making their way down the steep slopes of Mont-Pertois in France, following the successful attack by Allied forces on May 2, 1917. At the summit of Mont-Pertois, Allied troops had overwhelmed the German garrison, numbering around 260 men, who had been holding out in a tunnel. Despite their valiant efforts to escape, the German soldiers were eventually forced to surrender. The image captures the moment of their descent, with the men wearing their tattered uniforms and carrying their belongings, likely feeling a mix of relief, defeat, and uncertainty about their future. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, with the prisoners appearing weary and resigned to their fate as they make their way down the hillside. The image is a testament to the bravery and determination of the Allied forces, who were able to successfully capture the strategic position of Mont-Pertois, dealing a significant blow to the German forces during the First World War. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing a glimpse into the realities of war and the experiences of the soldiers on the front lines. Its inclusion in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made during this pivotal moment in history.
