A 1:20,000 scale map of a sector of the Western Front especially notorious amongst French troops in 1915 for the brutality of the fighting and unutterably dreadful conditions of the front line positions. The map shows Souchez, Ablain, Carency & Notre Dame de Lorette and the position of the front line in Sep & Oct. 1915.

“Ypres Salient, Dawn, February 1918” by John Louis Ginnett, #IWM Collection.

The Ypres #Salient has been written about so much that new words are impossible to find in describing it. Safe to say; none of us today can truly comprehend just how awful it was.

“The Dispatch (Captain’s Dugout) by Marjory V. Watherston, 1917, #IWM Collection.

This is an exceptional painting that really tells a story. There’s enough detail to set the mood, yet the setting isn’t cluttered.

I’m currently reading a gem of a book entitled “Morale” by John Baynes. It’s a highly readable account about unit cohesion of the 2nd Scottish Rifles (Cameronians) at Neuve Chapelle in March 1915. The description of a night march is timeless. #milsky #fww #fwwhist ##booksky

“Action at Night” by John Cosmo Clark, ca. 1917-18, #IWMCollection.

The artist served in the #GreatWar as a #subaltern on the Western Front. Paintings such as this give us a rare glimpse into night operations, during which it was almost impossible to
photograph the front lines. #fww #fwwhist #WWI

Zonnebeke, Winter 1917-18. A British infantryman is stuck fast in a large pool of liquid mud in a shell hole. To the right one of his comrades stands beckoning to him. There is barbed wire in the background. text: Stuck Fast in Mud. The beginning of an awful experience! One of the 10th Service Battalion York and Lancaster Regt got held fast by the mud and slime in a shell hole which flooded as he struggled. To haul him with ropes was impossible as he would have died. It took four nights hard work by the Pioneers to get him free. HIs comrade stood by him day and night under fire. He fed him by means of a long stick. When eventually saved both went delirious. Alexander Jamieson, Captain QM 10th York & Lancaster Regt.

“Stuck Fast in Mud” by Alexander Jamieson, 1918, #IWM.

This harrowing piece shows a Tommy trapped in the slimy mud of the #Ypres salient.

The artist was an eyewitness and helped rescue this #soldier. Many others in similar circumstances weren’t so fortunate. #fww #fwwhist #ww1 #WWI #WesternFront

“Tommy – Vanquisher of the Hun” by Jose Simont, 1916, L’Illustration magazine.

I don’t know if M. Simont travelled to the front for this particular work. But he was highly respected for the combat art he created in the #GreatWar.

Front cover of a ‘petit bouquin’ « À la Rescousse » by Georges Spitzmuller published in late 1918.
The cover shows French troops marching to the aid of their allies, the British, who are battered and wounded by the force of the 1918 German spring offensive.
A British officer shakes the hand of the French officer leading the unit that has arrived to help in the fight.

It’s at this time of year that thoughts go to those brave French troops who marched to the aid of their stricken British allies during the difficult days of the March 1918 German spring offensive.
108 years later, and not forgotten. #FWWHist #FWW #WW1 #1GM
