EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken on August 21, 1918, captures the devastating impact of war in the rural landscape of Dranoutre, West Flanders, Belgium. The image, part of the Royal Flying Corps (RFC) archive, reveals an extensive area of land that has been ravaged by shelling during the First World War. The once lush and verdant fields, now reduced to a barren expanse, are punctuated by the remnants of tree stumps. The stark contrast between the destroyed terrain and the clear blue sky above underscores the destructive power of the conflict. The RFC, a military aviation branch of the British Army, conducted regular aerial reconnaissance and observation flights over the Western Front during the war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the devastating effects of war on the natural world and the communities that inhabited it. The trees, now mere stumps, once provided shelter, shade, and sustenance, but now stand as silent witnesses to the violence and destruction that engulfed this region during the Great War. The 1910s, a decade marked by global conflict, saw the emergence of new technologies, such as aerial photography, that forever changed the way wars were fought and documented. This photograph offers a unique perspective on the realities of war, revealing the devastating consequences of military action on the land and the people who lived there.
