Description: An original photograph from a European traveler who visited many parts of war torn Europe in 1918-1919 just as the first world war was ending. Photographer and traveller name appears to be Sgt. Sessel.Type & Size: A 3.5x2.5" original photograph.Condition: Original from the end of the war and in fair antique condition. These originated from a scrapbook that was falling apart, and most photos have age wear, remnants of having been formerly mounted (residue on front or back), dirt, scratches, etc. Please see photos, which show a scan of both surfaces. A solitary woman stands pensively among the ruins of a wireless station on Mt Kemmel in 1919. The scene captures the desolate aftermath of World War I, with twisted metal rods and a tattered structure marking the landscape. Her attire suggests she is a visitor, surveying the remnants of the war-torn site.Mt Kemmel was a significant location during World War I, the scene of intense battles between the Allies and German forces. As a high point in the Ypres Salient, it provided strategic advantage for artillery observation and communication, making it a target of heavy fighting and bombardment.The sign in the background is not legible enough to provide specific details. No individuals are identifiable from the image itself.
