EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment during the Battle of the Somme in May 1917, as British cavalry troops cross a temporary bridge over the Somme River near Brie in France. The First World War raged on, and the Allies were making a desperate attempt to push back the German forces who had held the line since 1916. The Somme River, a major obstacle, was crossed by troops using makeshift bridges to advance towards the enemy lines. The scene is filled with a sense of tension and determination, as soldiers in their heavy uniforms and horses wade through the water, their faces set with focus and resolve. The bridge, precariously balanced over the rushing water, adds an element of danger and uncertainty to the scene. The vast expanse of the river, stretching out towards the horizon, underscores the enormity of the conflict and the scale of the effort required to cross it. The Battle of the Somme was one of the largest and bloodiest battles in the history of warfare, with over one million casualties on both sides. Despite the heavy losses, the battle is considered a turning point in the war, as it weakened the German forces and paved the way for the eventual Allied victory. This powerful photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the Great War, and the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
