Summary
[edit]DescriptionStreet in Amiens (4688618142).jpg |
English: Immediate aftermath of shelling in Amiens, France, during World War I. This shot captures some of the impact that shelling had on the towns of France and their people. Thick smoke rising in the background suggests another shell has just struck the town; in the foreground a barrel seems to be wobbling from the force of the blast, while overhead wires shake. Locals in the ruined street gaze skywards, apparently in anticipation of another strike. Amiens was one of the most important strategic locations on the Western Front due to its important railway links. Apart from a brief spell in 1914 when it was German occupied, it remained in French hands for the whole of the war. It was in most danger of recapture during the German Spring Offensive of 1918, which is probably when this photograph was taken. |
