EDITORS COMMENTS
Dans les villes liberees (mars 1917); Soldats anglais dans les vieux remparts de Peronne" is a poignant and evocative photograph taken by the renowned French photographer Francois Flameng during the First World War. The image, which was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 1" by L'Illustration in Paris in 1924, captures a moment of both triumph and devastation in the aftermath of the liberation of Peronne, a town in Picardy, France. The photograph shows a group of British soldiers standing among the ruins of the old city walls of Peronne. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms and armed with rifles, are seen looking out over the devastated landscape, likely surveying the damage caused by the German retreat. The scene is one of destruction and devastation, with the remnants of buildings and structures visible in the background, many of which have been reduced to rubble by the relentless shelling of the war. Despite the destruction, there is a sense of pride and accomplishment in the soldiers' posture and demeanor. They stand tall and confident, having played a role in the liberation of this town from German control. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the cost of war and the indelible impact it has on the people and places it touches. Francois Flameng's photograph is a significant historical document, capturing a moment in time during the First World War that is often overlooked in the larger narrative of the conflict. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of photography to capture and preserve history.
