EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures the devastation wrought upon the once idyllic village of Serre near Ancre in France during the First World War in 1917. The ruins of this small community, located on the British front lines, stand as a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the lives forever changed by its destructive force. The village, which was situated in a pastoral setting along the River Ancre, was reduced to rubble during the intense battles fought between the Allied forces and the German army. The ruins of Serre serve as a powerful symbol of the historical significance of the First World War and the sacrifices made by countless soldiers and civilians during this global conflict. The image, taken in 1917, offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to bear witness to the devastating impact of war on communities and the lives of individuals. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving history and remembering the past, as we strive to learn from the lessons of the past and work towards a more peaceful future.
