EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of passing time and the relentless march of war as artillery pieces of the 17th Division, serving as the Vth Corps reserve, make their way through the quiet village street of Henencourt during the Battle of Rosieres on the Western Front in March 1918. The First World War, a conflict that lasted from 1914 to 1918, brought unparalleled destruction and hardship to Europe, with the Western Front becoming the epicenter of the most intense fighting. The Battle of Rosieres, fought between March 25 and April 1, 1918, was a significant engagement during the German Spring Offensive, which aimed to break through the Allied lines and turn the tide of the war. The 17th Division, a British infantry division, was part of the Vth Corps, which was tasked with holding the line in this sector. As the artillery pieces pass through the village, the soldiers, weary and focused, are a testament to the unwavering determination and resilience of the troops in the face of adversity. The scene is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war, as the tranquility of the village street is shattered by the inexorable march of conflict. The image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a valuable historical record of a pivotal moment in the Great War.
