EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grim reality of the Battle of Verdun during the First World War, specifically the fortification of Thiaumont in France. The image, titled "Episodes de la bataille de Verdun; l'ouvrage de Thiaumont; l'ouvrage occupe par nous, au commencement de mai," was published in the French magazine "L'Illustration" in 1916. The photograph shows the fortified position of Thiaumont, which was under French control at the beginning of May 1916. However, on May 6, an artillery shell penetrated the central shelter, rendering the fortification unusable for soldiers. From that day on, the fortification was only used by artillery observers. The damaged trench is visible in the foreground, with soldiers working to repair it each night. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh conditions and constant danger faced by soldiers during the Battle of Verdun. The fortification, once a symbol of defense and protection, now lies in ruins, a testament to the destructive power of war. The photograph is a valuable historical record of this significant moment in the First World War and a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on the Western Front. The photograph is from the "Collection de la Guerre IV" in "L'Illustration," and the creator is unknown. The image is in black and white and is a powerful reminder of the concept of conflict, defense, and the impact of war on the landscape and people.
