EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a map showing the scene of the German attacks during the First World War in February 1916. The image, taken from "The Great World War: A History", edited by Frank A Mumby, provides a detailed overview of the battlefields near Ypres, Belgium. The map highlights significant locations such as the "Bluff" and International Trench situated on a wooded hill north of the Ypres-Comines Canal and south of Hill 60. The photograph offers a glimpse into the strategic importance of these areas during one of history's most devastating conflicts. It showcases how railways and water transport played crucial roles in supplying troops and resources to this theatre of war on the Western Front. Although we do not know who took this photograph or its exact purpose, it serves as a valuable historical document that allows us to visualize and understand the complexities faced by soldiers fighting in Flanders during WWI. The image also reminds us of the immense sacrifices made by those involved in this brutal battle. As we reflect upon this snapshot from our past, let us remember all those who fought bravely for their countries amidst unimaginable hardships. May their courage serve as an enduring reminder that peace is worth pursuing at all costs.
