Captured in black and white by Le Flambeau (the Torch) on September 18th, 1915, this image transports us to the Western Front during one of history's most devastating conflicts. Intriguingly bizarre and brimming with amusement, we witness a group of off-duty soldiers engaging in an extraordinary display of flexibility. A contortionist-like figure effortlessly hangs from a pole while forming what appears to be a human serpent.

These men momentarily escape the horrors surrounding them through this unusual form of entertainment. Their camaraderie is evident as they come together to create something truly unique. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, it becomes clear that these individuals are more than just soldiers; they are resilient souls who refuse to let war consume every aspect of their lives. This print captures both their strength and vulnerability—a testament to the indomitable spirit that can emerge even amidst unimaginable turmoil. Through this
