EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph from the First World War era, showcasing the intensity and innovation of naval warfare during this period. The image, taken from "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924, depicts a daring hunt for German submarines (U-boats) by French forces. In the photograph, we see a patrol boat speeding through the water, its wake churning up the surface as it passes over the spot where a submarine was recently sighted. The submarine, now submerged, trails a white wake as it disappears beneath the waves, just as a bomb, dropped from a nearby hydroplane, explodes in its wake. The aerial view offers a unique and birds-eye perspective of this dramatic scene, highlighting the coordinated efforts of the French navy to counteract the threat posed by German U-boats. The photograph captures the essence of the naval warfare during the First World War, with its focus on speed, innovation, and teamwork. The boats, planes, and bombs are all essential components of this intricate dance of war, each playing a crucial role in the hunt for the elusive and deadly submarines. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the risks and challenges faced by the soldiers and sailors during this period, as they fought to protect their country and secure victory in the conflict. The photograph's origin is unknown, but its historical significance is undeniable. It offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war and conflict, and reminding us of the bravery and determination of those who served during the First World War. The photograph is a testament to the power of the image to capture history and preserve it for future generations.
