EDITORS COMMENTS
September 15, 1916: The Great Charge by the Guards on the Somme Amidst the chaos and carnage of the Battle of the Somme, one of the most significant moments occurred on this fateful day as British forces, including the Coldstream Guards, Grenadier Guards, and Irish Guards, launched a bold and decisive attack on the German-held villages of Martinpuich and Courcelette. In this evocative image from the Illustrated London News, we witness the raw power and determination of the British line as they charge forward, their bayonets fixed and ready to strike. The scene is set against a backdrop of devastation, with the remnants of shattered buildings and cratered terrain serving as a grim reminder of the relentless fighting that had taken place in this sector of the Western Front. The attack, which came during the larger Battle of Flers-Courcelette, was a crucial turning point in the Somme campaign. The capture of these villages and the over 2,300 prisoners taken marked a significant gain for the Allies and demonstrated their ability to make ground against the German defenses. Despite the progress made, the cost was high. The image captures the intense and harrowing nature of trench warfare, with soldiers huddled in their holes, weapons at the ready, and helmets shielding them from the ever-present threat of shellfire. The lilies, a symbol of the fallen, serve as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides during this pivotal moment in World War I history.
