In Flanders - The Yser Offensive (1917); Bombardment of German Lines
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and evocative image from the historic album "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph, most likely a drawing or painting, depicts the bombardment of German lines during the Yser Offensive on the night of August 15-16, 1917, at around 3:30 a.m. The scene unfolds near Langemarck, a small village in West Flanders, Belgium, close to the River Ijzer and the city of Ypres in Flanders. The image captures the intensity and scale of the attack during the Fourth Army's assault on the German lines during the Third Battle of Ypres, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele. The night sky is illuminated by the brilliant flashes of artillery fire, as the French and British forces launch a relentless bombardment against the German defenses. The geographical features of the battlefield, including the rolling hills and the winding river, are accentuated by the contrasting colors and illuminations. The image offers a glimpse into the historic events of the First World War, a time of unprecedented conflict and change in the early 20th century. The print, with its striking visual representation of the battle, serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during this pivotal moment in history. The exact creator of the image remains unknown, but the print's inclusion in a respected publication like "L'Album de la Guerre" attests to its historical significance and artistic merit.
