EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative drawing by British artist William Hugh Duncan Arthur captures the haunting stillness of the Bosch Dugouts in the Hill 60 sector during the First World War. Dated 1917, the image depicts a deserted German blockhouse, its once imposing structure now reduced to a crumbling ruin. The table and chairs set outside, abandoned and weathered, add a poignant touch to the scene. The Bosch Dugouts were a series of interconnected tunnels and bunkers dug by both German and Allied forces in the Ypres Salient of the Western Front. Named after the Bosch trench, a German stronghold, these dugouts served as living quarters, command posts, and fortifications for soldiers on both sides. The drawing offers a glimpse into the surreal and otherworldly landscape of the war, with its stark contrasts of light and shadow, order and decay. The title "Bosch Dugouts" is a reminder of the horrors and complexities of the First World War, a conflict that left an indelible mark on the world and its people. This haunting image by William Hugh Duncan Arthur invites us to reflect on the human experience of war, and the enduring impact of conflict on the land and its inhabitants.
