EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the scene of two military convoys making their way along the road from Brescia to Verona in Italy during the First World War, in 1917. On the left, an electric train loaded with Italian troops makes its steady progress, its bright red and green livery standing out against the dusty, sun-scorched landscape. On the right, a column of road-trucks carries French soldiers, their uniforms and equipment jostling for space in the open backs of the vehicles. The image is taken from 'L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2' published by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The First World War saw the deployment of vast numbers of troops and supplies to the various fronts, with logistics and transportation playing a crucial role in the outcome of the conflict. The use of both railways and road transport is evident in this photograph, reflecting the innovative approaches taken by the Allied forces to ensure the smooth movement of troops and supplies to the Italian front. The soldiers in this photograph, hailing from France and Italy, are shown in a moment of solidarity as they make their way towards the front lines. The image is a poignant reminder of the shared experience of war and the importance of military cooperation between Allied nations. The photograph is a testament to the rich history of the First World War and the sacrifices made by soldiers from all corners of Europe. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the printed image to capture and preserve historical moments for future generations.
