EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Battles of the Flanders Ridges, July 30-November 26,1917" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the First World War. Created by an unknown artist around 1920, this map illustrates the successive stages of the Allies' advance during one of the most significant battles in history. Known as The Third Battle of Ypres or The Battle of Passchendaele, this fierce conflict unfolded on the Belgian Western Front from July to November 1917. It witnessed a relentless struggle between British, Belgian, and French forces against their German adversaries. Tragically, countless lives were lost during these months. Featured as an inset within this historical map is a key that highlights both the Flanders Front and the seaward end of the Allies' lines on July 30th, 1917. This visual aid provides valuable context for understanding how military positions evolved throughout this protracted battle. Taken from Volume VII of "The Great World War: A History" edited by Frank A Mumby and published by The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd in London circa 1920; this print offers a glimpse into one chapter among many in humanity's shared past. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of our capacity for destruction but also our resilience and determination amidst unimaginable adversity.
