EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and intensity of the British artillery during the Battle of Arras offensive on the Western Front in April 1917. The image shows a line of Howitzer guns in action, their massive barrels belching out clouds of smoke as they fire shells towards the German trenches. The Battle of Arras was one of the largest and most costly offensives of World War I, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. The 1st Howitzer Brigade played a crucial role in the assault, providing essential fire support to the advancing infantry. The Howitzer gun, a versatile and powerful weapon, was a key component of the British artillery arsenal during the war. Its long range and ability to fire both high explosive and shrapnel shells made it an effective weapon against enemy fortifications and troop concentrations. The photograph offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare and the devastating impact of artillery on the battlefield. With the centenary of World War I, this historical image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the Great War.
