EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, captures the grim determination of British soldiers from the East Yorkshire regiment during the Third Battle of Ypres in 1917. The haunting silhouettes of the soldiers, their rifles slung over their shoulders, are sharply contrasted against the desolate landscape of Frezenberg, scarred by the devastation of war. The battle, also known as the Battle of Passchendaele, was one of the costliest battles of World War I, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The soldiers are making their way around shell craters, their faces etched with the strain of the relentless fighting and the harsh conditions. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the brave men who fought in the trenches during this pivotal moment in history. The image serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and courage of the soldiers, and the enduring impact of the Great War on the world.
