EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured by Topical Press Agency/Getty Images, takes us back to September 13th, 1918. It portrays a group of determined American soldiers from the 18th Infantry Machine Gun Battalion advancing through the haunting ruins of St Baussant, France on their way to the St. Mihiel Front. In this landscape shot, we witness the aftermath of war as bomb damage litters the once vibrant streets. The destruction is palpable; buildings reduced to rubble and roads marred with debris serve as a grim reminder of the fierce battles that took place here. Amidst this desolation stands a church, its skeletal remains symbolizing both resilience and tragedy. These brave soldiers navigate through this apocalyptic scene with unwavering determination etched upon their faces. Their presence evokes admiration for their courage in facing such adversity. This archival image transports us back in time to an era when nations clashed on European soil during World War I. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by countless individuals who fought for freedom and peace. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded not only of the horrors endured but also of humanity's capacity for resilience amidst chaos.
