Photographic exhibition.Chez Veuve Ambal from March 23 to May 30, 2018. Collections of the Musée Nicéphore Niépce, Chalon-sur-Saône.

The war was only supposed to last a year. Yet from 1914 to 1918, men of fighting age were sent to the front in massive numbers. There, they endured the extreme harshness of life in the trenches. Nearly nine million of them were killed, both as actors in and victims of unusually violent fighting. To mark the centenary of the end of the First World War,
la Maison Veuve Ambal invites you to discover extracts from the Musée Nicéphore Niépce’s
photographic collections on the first modern conflict,
as a tribute to the millions of men who lived through the hell of the trenches
between 1914 and 1918.
