EDITORS COMMENTS
translated to "The Departure of American Tanks for the Attack in the Forest of Argonne," is a captivating photograph from the First World War era. The image, created by an unknown photographer, was published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, in 1924. The photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Meuse-Argonne Offensive, the final major offensive campaign of the First World War, which took place in the Argonne Forest in northeastern France. American troops, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen preparing for an attack, with several armored vehicles, known as tanks, in the background. The tanks, a new and powerful weapon in the war, are being readied for deployment, with soldiers checking their equipment and supervising the loading of supplies. The forest of Argonne, a dense and difficult terrain, was a strategic location for the battle, as it provided cover for the German forces. The American Expeditionary Forces, determined to break through the German lines and end the war, launched a massive assault on the forest on September 26, 1918. The attack, part of the Hundred Days Offensive, marked a turning point in the war, leading to the eventual defeat of the German army. The photograph provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of war, with the soldiers' determined expressions and the mechanical might of the tanks contrasting with the tranquil forest surroundings. It is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers during the First World War and the significant role the United States played in the conflict. The photograph's historical significance makes it a valuable addition to any collection of military history or World War I memorabilia.
