EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment during the tumultuous times of World War I. In 1914, amidst the chaos and destruction, a regiment of English dragoons emerges as unlikely heroes in an extraordinary act of bravery. The image depicts these gallant soldiers using their sabres to extinguish a raging fire that engulfs a forest. The intensity of the flames contrasts with the calm determination on the faces of these courageous men. Their uniforms proudly display their allegiance to Britain, while their swords symbolize both their military prowess and resourcefulness in combating this unexpected enemy - fire. Set against the backdrop of nature's beauty turned into devastation, this photograph evokes a sense of awe and admiration for those who risked their lives to protect not only themselves but also the land they fought for. It serves as a poignant reminder that war can bring out both destruction and heroism in equal measure. Although created by an unknown artist, this image found its place on the back cover of "Le Petit Journal Supplement Illustre" - a French newspaper known for its powerful visual storytelling during that era. Today, it stands as an unusual testament to humanity's resilience and adaptability even in times when facing unimaginable challenges like warfare.
