One of the answers was to mobilise the potential resistance in occupied Europe and harness it to Britain’s strategy. Hence, in July 1940, the War Cabinet set up the secret Special Operations Executive (SOE), whose task it was to foster and support sabotage and subversion in Europe.

Between 1914 and 1918, military, press and amateur photographers produced thousands of pictures. Either classified in military archives specially created with this purpose in 1915, collected in personal albums or circulated in illustrated magazines, photographs were supposed to tell the story of the war. Picturing the Western Front argues that photographic practices also shaped combatants and civilians’ war experiences.
