EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the harsh reality of World War I on Hill 140 in Artois, northern France, between 1915 and 1916. The image showcases Krupp trench, a strategic military position during the war. In the foreground stands a French officer, donning waterproof overtrousers to protect himself from the unforgiving elements. The monochrome composition evokes a sense of somberness and highlights the gravity of the situation faced by soldiers at that time. The stark contrast between light and shadow emphasizes their resilience amidst adversity. The location itself holds historical significance as it witnessed countless battles and sacrifices during one of humanity's most devastating conflicts. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery displayed by these men who fought for their country. Although we do not know the identity of this particular soldier captured in this print, his presence symbolizes all those who served on Hill 140. Their unwavering determination is etched into every line on their faces, reflecting both physical exhaustion and mental fortitude. Preserved through glass plate stereoview images like this one, these photographs provide us with an invaluable glimpse into history. They allow us to honor those who came before us while reminding us never to forget the horrors endured during World War I.
