EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War, as Austro-Hungarian gunners carefully prepare and aim their 12cm trench mortar in a firing position. Dressed in heavy winter coats and armed with protective goggles, these soldiers are focused intently on their task, their expressions a mix of determination and concentration. The trench mortar, a type of artillery weapon, was particularly effective in the confined spaces of the trenches, allowing troops to fire explosives over the enemy lines with greater accuracy. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of trench warfare during the Great War, and the crucial role that artillery played in the conflict. Dated between 1914 and 1918, this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily lives of the soldiers who served on the front lines for the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The 12cm trench mortar was a formidable weapon, and its use by these gunners would have had a significant impact on the battlefield.
