EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: In this print titled "World War I: soldiers of the German army with a herd of oxen to work in a war zone" we are transported back in time to the tumultuous years of 1915-1918. The image captures an intriguing scene amidst the chaos and destruction of World War I, shedding light on an often overlooked aspect of warfare - the use of animals. The focus is on a group of German soldiers, clad in their military uniforms, skillfully guiding a herd of oxen through what appears to be a war-torn European landscape. These majestic terrestrial mammals were not only used for transportation but also played an essential role in performing arduous tasks required for survival during wartime. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes evident that these soldiers relied heavily on these loyal creatures as they worked together harmoniously amidst the ravages brought about by conflict. The juxtaposition between man and beast highlights both their interdependence and resilience in times when human ingenuity was pushed to its limits. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that war affects not only humans but also innocent beings who find themselves unwittingly embroiled in the chaos. It prompts us to reflect upon our shared responsibility towards all living creatures caught up in conflicts beyond their control. Through Alinari's lens, we are granted access to an intimate moment frozen within time - one that encapsulates both the harsh realities faced by those serving at war and the indomitable spirit that drives humanity forward even amid adversity.
