EDITORS COMMENTS
In the aftermath of the devastating battles of World War One, farmers in France were faced with an unexpected challenge as they sought to cultivate their lands once again. Hidden beneath the soil were countless unexploded projectiles, remnants of the fierce fighting that had taken place just a few short years prior. In this poignant drawing from 1919, an operative is depicted using sophisticated equipment to search for these hidden dangers. The operator holds a telephone receiver (microphone) to his ear, listening intently as the apparatus emits a sound whenever it detects metal beneath the surface. This ingenious device, known as an induction balance, was developed by Professor Guitton and engineer Georges Hugues, and utilized electro-magnetic scouring to locate buried bombs and other metal objects. The drawing shows the operator carefully marking the position of each discovery on a diagram, ensuring that the area can be safely cleared before tilling can begin. The importance of this work cannot be overstated, as the failure to properly clear the battlefields could result in tragedy for innocent farmers and their families. The process of clearing the land was a painstaking one, requiring great care and attention to detail. The drawing provides a glimpse into the heroic efforts of these unsung heroes, who played a crucial role in returning normalcy to the war-torn regions of France in the aftermath of the Great War.
