EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a map illustrating the Battle of Messines during the First World War in June 1917. The blue area on the map represents the significant ground gained by British forces, led by General Sir Herbert Plumer, from the Germans between 7th and 14th June 1917. This historic battle took place near the village of Messines in West Flanders, Belgium, on the Western Front. The photograph is sourced from "The Great World War: A History", Volume VII, edited by Frank A Mumby and published around 1920. It provides a vivid visual representation of this crucial moment in history when British troops successfully advanced against German positions. General Sir Herbert Plumer played a pivotal role as commander during this battle and later became known as Baron Plumer and Viscount Plumer for his remarkable leadership skills. The image captures not only an important military event but also highlights Britain's involvement in this global conflict. With its vibrant colors and detailed depiction of territorial lines and positions, this print offers viewers a glimpse into one aspect of the complex theatre of war that defined much of the early twentieth century. It serves as a reminder of those who fought bravely on both sides during these tumultuous times.
