EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of the New Zealand Division during the final stages of the First World War. Taken in August 1918 on the Western Front in France, the image shows soldiers of the New Zealand Division firing a captured 4.2 gun battery at the village of Grevillers. The New Zealand Division, part of the British Expeditionary Force, played a crucial role in the Allied offensive during the Hundred Days Offensive in 1918. After months of brutal fighting, the Allies were determined to push back the German forces and bring an end to the devastating conflict. In this photograph, we see New Zealand soldiers, their faces determined and focused, manning the captured German 4.2 gun battery. The gun's barrels are angled towards the sky, ready to fire. Smoke rises in the background, a reminder of the intense battle that had just taken place. The capture of Grevillers was a significant victory for the New Zealand Division, and this photograph provides a glimpse into the intense and often overlooked moments of daily life on the Western Front. The soldiers in the photograph are a testament to the bravery and resilience of the Allied forces during the First World War. This historical image is a powerful reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers from around the world during the Great War. It is a valuable addition to any collection of military history or World War I memorabilia.
