Chateau Wood 1917

"Chateau Wood" is a haunting photograph by Frank Hurley, taken in 1917 during World War I. The image depicts a desolate landscape, with bare tree trunks rising from muddy ground, a stark reminder of the war's destruction. A group of soldiers, silhouetted against the grim backdrop, walk across a makeshift wooden bridge, highlighting the human cost of the conflict. Hurley's work, known for its stark realism, captures the devastating impact of the war on the natural world.
