After the bitter struggle for the stricken village of Gheluvelt, lost and retaken several times after 1918

This stereoscopic photograph, taken after 1918, depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Gheluvelt during World War I. The image shows the destroyed village of Gheluvelt, with smoke rising from the ruins. The photograph captures the devastating effects of the war on the landscape and provides a stark reminder of the human cost of conflict. The image was likely part of a series of photographs, "Realistic Travels," which sought to document the realities of war for the public. This photo, in particular, is a poignant example of war photography and serves as a powerful testament to the destruction caused by the conflict.
