EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment during World War I, showcasing the immense effort and machinery involved in transporting ammunition. Taken in Genicourt, northern France, between 1914 and 1918, this image depicts a group of soldiers moving shells with the help of a crane. The monochrome composition adds to the gravity of the scene, emphasizing the stark reality of war. The photograph is part of a series of glass plate stereoview images that provide glimpses into various aspects of World War I. It serves as a powerful reminder of the challenges faced by soldiers on the frontlines and highlights their resourcefulness in utilizing lifting gear to handle heavy ordnance. The location itself holds historical significance as it was one among many sites where crucial military operations took place during this global conflict. The French countryside provides an evocative backdrop for this snapshot frozen in time. While we do not know specific details about the individuals featured in this photograph or its photographer, it stands as a testament to human resilience amidst adversity. This poignant image transports us back to an era defined by warfare but also underscores our shared history and collective efforts towards peace.
