EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting image of an Australian observation post during the Battle of Messines, Western Front, Belgium in 1917. The post, made of steel and resembling a tree trunk, stands tall amidst the desolate and barren landscape of the battlefield. The Australian forces, known as the 1st Australian Division, used such makeshift structures as observation points to gain a strategic advantage over the enemy. The Battle of Messines was a significant engagement during World War I, marking the first large-scale use of pre-mined artillery shells by the Allies, resulting in a massive explosion that destroyed German trenches and created a crater field. The battle is considered a prelude to the larger Battle of Passchendaele, which took place later that year. The use of steel trees as observation posts was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the soldiers in the face of the harsh conditions and the constant threat of enemy fire. This historical photograph offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men and women who fought in the Great War, and the resilience and determination that defined their experience.
