British cavalrymen under bombardment, 1914
British cavalrymen in a village in France under bombardment from German guns. The houses were demolished like packs of cards, but Providence looked after us, and after six hours of mental agony we had to retire one by one across a pontoon bridge... with the loss of a few men we got clear. Date: 1914

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw reality of the First World War battlefield, as British cavalrymen and their horses huddle in a devastated French village under relentless German artillery fire in 1914. The idyllic scene of quaint houses and peaceful village life has been reduced to rubble and dust, with the horses' ears pricked in fear and the soldiers' faces etched with determination and anxiety. The caption accompanying the image recounts the harrowing experience of the cavalrymen, who endured six hours of mental agony as they came under bombardment. Despite the loss of a few men, they managed to retreat across a pontoon bridge, narrowly escaping the carnage. This poignant image serves as a stark reminder of the brutal and unforgiving nature of trench warfare during the First World War. The photograph, taken in 1914, offers a glimpse into the harsh conditions faced by soldiers on the Western Front. The destruction of the houses and buildings is a testament to the devastating power of the German guns, and the determination of the British cavalrymen to survive against all odds. The image also underscores the importance of Providence and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. This powerful photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during the First World War, and the indelible impact of the conflict on the lives of those who lived through it. It is a testament to the bravery and resilience of the British cavalrymen, who faced the unimaginable horrors of war with courage and fortitude.
