EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and uncertainty of the First World War battlefield, effective communication between troops was crucial for coordinated attacks and ensuring the safety of soldiers. In this evocative image from the First World War era, two soldiers diligently use a signalling shutter to send a coded message to their comrades. The soldiers are seen in the heart of the battlefield, with the rugged terrain of the Western Front stretching out in the background. One soldier, wearing a peaked cap and holding a map, operates the signalling shutter, while the other soldier, wearing a helmet and gazing intently through a telescope, scans the horizon for any signs of enemy activity. The signalling shutter, a crucial piece of communication equipment during the war, is mounted on a tripod and is connected to a wire that disappears into the distance, indicating the presence of a network of similar communication systems linking up the various units of the army. The soldiers' expressions are focused and determined, a testament to their unwavering commitment to their duty. The image captures the intensity and gravity of the war, as well as the importance of effective communication in the face of adversity. The use of a signalling shutter allowed soldiers to send messages quickly and accurately, despite the challenging conditions of the battlefield. This image is a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who served during the Great War and the vital role that communication played in their efforts to secure a victory.
