EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty and desolation of the Road to Guillemont as it winds its way towards the village in September 1916. Taken from the vantage point of Waterlot Farm, the image provides a poignant glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the rolling hills of the Somme region in France were the backdrop to one of the most significant battles of the First World War. The Battle of Guillemont, part of the wider Somme campaign, began on the 3rd of September 1916, and by the end of the 5th, the British forces had managed to take the village. The road in this photograph would have been teeming with soldiers and supplies making their way to the front lines, the sounds of gunfire and explosions echoing in the distance. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War, with the road leading towards the unknown, representing the uncertain fate of the soldiers who travelled it. The desolate landscape, dotted with the remnants of trees and the occasional farmhouse, adds to the sense of isolation and the harsh reality of war. This photograph is a powerful reminder of the historical significance of the Battle of Guillemont and the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in it. It invites us to reflect on the past and pay tribute to those who gave their lives for our freedom.
