EDITORS COMMENTS
The High Wood showing the 1st Division Memorial Cross" is a poignant topographical print depicting a significant site in the history of the British military during World War I. Captured by Lieutenant David S. Neave around 1916, this image presents a view of the High Wood, a dense forested area in the Somme region of France, where some of the most intense fighting of the war took place. The 1st Division Memorial Cross, visible in the foreground, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the 1st Division during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The Battle of the Somme, which lasted from July to November 1916, was one of the largest and bloodiest battles in the history of warfare. The 1st Division, also known as the Old Contemptibles, played a crucial role in the early stages of the battle, attacking the German defenses in the High Wood on July 14, 1916. Despite suffering heavy casualties, the division managed to capture the wood, but it was ultimately recaptured by the Germans a few days later. This print offers a unique glimpse into the history of the 1st Division and the Battle of the Somme. The Memorial Cross, dedicated to the memory of the soldiers who fell during the battle, stands as a testament to their bravery and sacrifice. The image also serves as a reminder of the topography of the battlefield, which played a significant role in the military strategies and tactics employed during the battle. Overall, "The High Wood showing the 1st Division Memorial Cross" is a powerful and evocative image that captures the spirit of the soldiers who fought in the Great War and the historical significance of the Battle of the Somme.
