EDITORS COMMENTS
"This haunting image captures the devastation wrought upon Thiepval Wood in France during the heavy artillery bombardment by the British army in December 1916, during the First World War. The tranquil and serene landscape of the woodland has been transformed into a desolate and barren wasteland, with the once lush and verdant trees reduced to mere stumps and charred remnants. The destruction was a part of the Battle of the Somme, one of the largest and bloodiest battles in human history, which lasted from July to November 1916. The British army, in an attempt to break through the German lines, subjected the wood to relentless bombardment with artillery and heavy guns, resulting in the annihilation of the once important strategic position. The scene before us is a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the devastating impact it can have on the natural world. The ruins of Thiepval Wood stand as a testament to the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought and died in this brutal conflict, and serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of peace and the preservation of our natural heritage." This photograph, taken in the year 1921, is a historical record of the destruction caused during the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
