EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of respite and camaraderie between two English soldiers during the harsh realities of the First World War. The scene is set in the Secteur de Bapaume, France, in 1918, as indicated by the title and the photograph's provenance from French photographer Jean-Jacques Berne-Bellecour. The soldiers are seen outside their dugout, a small, makeshift shelter used to protect them from the elements and enemy fire. Despite the ominous backdrop of the war-torn landscape, the soldiers appear focused only on their game of cards, their expressions serious yet calm. The image offers a poignant reminder of the human spirit's ability to find moments of normalcy and connection even in the most challenging of circumstances. The photograph is a testament to the historical significance of the First World War and the sacrifices made by soldiers during this time. With its rich historical context and compelling narrative, this photograph is an essential addition to any collection of military, topographical, or historical imagery.
