All quiet on the Western Front as haunting images of the Great War's battlefields are revealed before Remembrance Day
With not a soul in sight, the peace and tranquility of these rural landscapes comes through loud and clear in a gallery of beautiful images.
Yet, nearly 100 years ago, these same serene scenes played host to some of the bloodiest and most violent battles of World War One in which 10 million soldiers died.
British photographer Michael St Maur Sheil has spent the last few years taking hauntingly poignant pictures of some of the most notorious battlefields of the Great War as they are today.

Interessant topic
Alleen jammer dat er zo weinig speelfilms over de Eerste Wereldoorlog zijn (vergeleken met andere grote oorlogen). Mijn favorieten zijn toch wel All Quiet on the Western Front (origineel) en La Grande Illusion .
Zijn er trouwens ook kleurenfilmpjes van de Eerste Wereldoorlog?
Ik weet dat ze er zijn van WW2, maar nooit een van WW1 gezien.
Littekens in het landschap. Best wel bizar dat het bijna 100 jaar na nog steeds niet wegge-erosiet is.quote:Op woensdag 9 november 2011 08:45 schreef yvonne het volgende:

ik vraag me toch af hoe dat toch kan.. zoiets liet je toch niet zomaar verstoffen of gooide je zomaar vol met aarde?quote:Op woensdag 16 november 2011 18:21 schreef yvonne het volgende:
Secret tunnels of the Somme: Historians unearth truth about World War One's underground battles after reopening lost labyrinth
28 tunnellers lie entombed in the tunnels in northern France
They were of huge strategic importance to the Battle of the Somme
They are a hidden maze of tunnels where a bloody underground war was played out in terrifying darkness and where the bodies of 28 heroes lie entombed forever.
Now, after lying practically undisturbed since troops laid down their arms in 1918 and just days before Remembrance Sunday, the secrets and tragedies of the labyrinth are finally being revealed thanks to work by archaeologists.
Since January, the Anglo-French La Boiselle Study Group has been working with historians to open up and explore the tunnels to discover more about the lives of the men lost in them.
