EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War, as German gunners carefully maneuver their heavy 305mm field gun into a camouflaged position. The year is between 1914 and 1918, and the scene is set in a field, with the soldiers and their equipment blending into the surrounding foliage for cover. The men, dressed in their military uniforms, work diligently to ensure the gun's accuracy and readiness. The 305mm gun, a formidable weapon of the Great War, was used extensively by both sides for long-range bombardment and siege warfare. The gun's massive size and weight required a team of soldiers to move it into position, making it a significant military asset. The soldiers' faces are focused and determined, their expressions reflecting the intensity and gravity of the war time situation. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of soldiers during the First World War, and the lengths they went to in order to gain an advantage on the battlefield.
