EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: Neuve Chapelle, May 16, 1915: A Counter-Attack Thwarted. This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of a fierce battle during World War I, specifically the failed German counter-attack on Neuve Chapelle, France, on May 16, 1915. The enemy, having launched their assault under the cover of a dense mist, was met with a determined resistance from the British forces. The men in the trenches on the left of the road successfully held their ground, while the machine gunners in the houses on the right devastated the advancing German ranks. The present German line, with tall trees in the middle distance, can be seen in the background. This photograph, likely taken from the German perspective, offers a haunting glimpse into the chaos and destruction of the battlefield. The ruined Pietre Mill is visible in the left foreground, and the British lines, though truncated in the distance, attest to the intensity of the clash.
