EDITORS COMMENTS
"This evocative illustration by S. Begg, published in the Illustrated London News on December 11, 1915, depicts the British Territorial Force making a desperate charge against the fortified German second line at the Battle of Loos on September 25, 1915. The soldiers, wearing their newly issued anti-gas masks, advance with determination and grit, armed with bombs and fixed bayonets. The scene is described in a German newspaper, Berliner Tageblatt, as "not like soldiers, but like devils." The importance of this battle lies in the fact that it was the first large-scale use of the British Expeditionary Force's gas weapons against the German lines. The battle was a costly one for both sides, with heavy casualties and little ground gained. The illustration serves as a powerful reminder of the brutal and chaotic nature of trench warfare during World War I." The Battle of Loos was a significant engagement in the Western Front of World War I, fought between the British and German armies from September 25 to October 8, 1915. The British Expeditionary Force launched an attack against the German second line, using a new tactic that involved a creeping barrage and the first large-scale use of poison gas. The battle was a costly failure for the British, with over 20,000 casualties, and little ground gained. The use of gas weapons marked a new phase in the war, and both sides continued to develop and use these weapons throughout the conflict. This illustration, created by S. Begg for the Illustrated London News, provides a vivid and dramatic portrayal of the British Territorial Force charging against the German trenches at Loos. The soldiers are shown with determination and resolve, despite the danger posed by the German defenses and the use of poison gas. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during this brutal and protracted conflict.
