. In this poignant print captured by Official, we are transported back to the First Battle of Scarpe on the 12th of April 1917. Here, amidst the solemn backdrop of Arras Cemetery, members of a British artillery company can be seen positioning an 18-pound field artillery piece with unwavering determination. The image encapsulates the essence of war and conflict during World War One on the Western Front. Clad in steel helmets, these brave soldiers stand united as a medium group, solely composed of men. Their faces bear witness to both youthfulness and maturity beyond their years – a testament to their unyielding commitment towards defending their country.

This photograph is more than just a historical artifact; it is a powerful reminder that behind every battle lies countless untold stories filled with bravery and sacrifice.
