EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, captured by M Ugo during the First World War, takes us back to a crucial moment in history. The image showcases British officers on the Western Front, somewhere in France around 1920. Positioned at a brigade headquarters, these brave men are seen directing an attack on the British front. The scene depicts staff officers diligently sending their orders through written messages and telephones along their section of the front. Their focused expressions reveal the weight of responsibility they carry as they strategize military plans amidst this devastating war. Surrounded by maps and books that hold vital information for planning, these officers demonstrate meticulous attention to detail and unwavering determination. The barn-like building serves as a backdrop for this intense atmosphere of communication and coordination. Frank A Mumby's book "The Great World War: A History" provides context to this powerful photograph, offering readers insights into one of humanity's darkest chapters. Through Ugo's lens, we witness not only the physical toll but also the immense mental effort required to navigate such complex warfare. As we reflect upon this image from over a century ago, it reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during World War I. It stands as a testament to human resilience in times of adversity while honoring those who fought bravely for their country.
