I don't mean to nit-pick but isn't that redundant?
Amazing that this comes out 90 years later. Sending this out for others to see. Does anyone know if or when it will be shown here.
Not really.... WWI set an entirely new standard for "war-torn." Look at post-battle pics of something like Gettysburg or Antietam, and you see an actual field, full of dead guys. But look at the muddy craterscapes of WWI .... and you don't even see fields.
"War-torn" takes on a whole new meaning....
I think that some of them were merely war-stained or war-stretched.
Bump for later.
Not really.
Some of the battlefields of WWI looked like the surface of the moon - only muddy. Its truly a horror. You need to look at the progression of aerial photographs of Fort Douaumont at Verdun - it goes from a pentagonal concrete fortress to a moonscape as artillery slowly erases it.
