EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history during the First World War. Titled "Hooded British Territorials charging the German Trenches at Loos, September 25th, 1915" it showcases the bravery and determination of British troops on the Western Front. The image depicts British soldiers wearing gas masks as they charge towards the German trenches at the Battle of Loos. This battle marked a significant milestone for both sides, as it was not only the largest British attack of 1915 but also their first use of poison gas. Amidst billowing smoke and explosions, these courageous soldiers fearlessly advance towards their enemy's stronghold. The hooded figures evoke an eerie atmosphere, symbolizing both protection from chemical warfare and anonymity in combat. Published in "The War Illustrated Album De Luxe - Volume IV: The Summer Campaign - 1915" edited by J. A. Hammerton, this photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought on behalf of their country during this tumultuous time. Through this image, we are transported back to that fateful day in France when these brave men charged into battle against all odds. It stands as a testament to their unwavering courage and resilience amidst unimaginable adversity.
