EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative vintage lantern slide captures the solemn and poignant scene of the German WW1 Cemetery at Sailly-Sur-La-Lys on 12th October 1918. The image transports us back in time to the final days of the First World War, as the sun casts a golden glow over the meticulously arranged rows of crosses and headstones, each marking the final resting place of a fallen soldier. The cemetery, located in the picturesque town of Sailly-Sur-La-Lys in northern France, bears testament to the brutal and devastating impact of the Great War on both sides of the conflict. The Victorian and Edwardian-era headstones, with their intricate carvings and inscriptions, serve as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. The peaceful and serene atmosphere of the cemetery contrasts sharply with the chaos and destruction that once dominated the battlefield. The scene is one of reflection and remembrance, as the passing of time allows us to pause and pay our respects to the countless lives lost during the conflict. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is taken, is a valuable historical resource that offers a unique insight into the events and experiences of the First World War. This lantern slide, in particular, provides a powerful and moving reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of both sides and the enduring impact of war on individuals and communities.
