This stereoscopic image, titled "Through gas and smoke, our troops advance to the final assault of Passchendaele Ridge," was created by Realistic Travels sometime between 1917 and 1918. The image captures the grim reality of trench warfare during World War I, depicting soldiers advancing through a haze of smoke and gas towards Passchendaele Ridge, a key battleground of the Western Front. The image serves as a stark reminder of the horrors of war, and the bravery of those who fought in it.
