EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the First World War, the historic Amiens Cathedral in France stood defiant against the threat of air raids. Circa 1915, as the conflict raged on in the nearby Somme region, German Taube and Tauben aircraft became a constant menace, dropping bombs on Allied targets. In response, the cathedral's exterior was fortified with a wall of sandbags, providing a crucial layer of protection against potential air attacks. The once magnificent edifice, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, was transformed into a military installation. The cathedral's grand facade, adorned with intricate carvings and stained glass windows, was now concealed behind a rough, utilitarian barrier. Soldiers manned the makeshift defensive line, scanning the skies for any signs of enemy aircraft. The once tranquil and sacred space was now a symbol of resilience and determination in the face of war. This powerful image captures the stark contrast between the beauty of peace and the harsh realities of war, as the Amiens Cathedral stood its ground, defended by a wall of sandbags against the threat of air attack during the First World War.
