EDITORS COMMENTS
This autochrome print captures a poignant moment during the devastating aftermath of artillery fire in Belgium, September 10,1917. The image showcases two French soldiers standing stoically at a narrow gauge railroad track near the French line at Het Sas. The battle-ravaged landscape surrounding them serves as a stark reminder of the horrors of war. The photograph was taken by Paul Castelnau, who skillfully captured the desolation and destruction that had befallen this rural Belgian area near Boezinge. This region, located north of Ypres in West Flanders, was heavily impacted by warfare during World War I. The soldiers' presence amidst such devastation evokes a sense of resilience and determination. Their uniforms bear witness to their commitment to duty on the Western Front. As they stand beside the damaged railway track, it becomes evident that even vital infrastructure like transportation systems were not spared from destruction. This autochrome print is an invaluable historical document that provides us with a glimpse into the harsh realities faced by those who fought in World War I. It serves as a haunting reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period in history. As we reflect upon this image, let us remember and honor all those who have served and continue to serve their countries in times of conflict.
