Artillery Cannon Guns Rapid Wheels War Time Weapons Ww 1
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and determination of the Russian military during World War I, as a team of soldiers prepare to deploy a 10cm Rapid Fire Cannon. Dated between 1914 and 1918, this formidable weapon was a key component of the Russian artillery arsenal during the Great War. The cannon, mounted on a sturdy carriage, is positioned on the rough, uneven terrain of a battlefield, with its large wheels raised to facilitate movement. The cannon's barrel is angled slightly towards the horizon, suggesting that the team is readying for a long-range shot. The soldiers, dressed in heavy winter coats and fur hats, are focused intently on their task, their faces set with determination and resolve. The 10cm Rapid Fire Cannon was a formidable weapon of its time, capable of firing up to 15 rounds per minute. Its use was instrumental in various battles on the Eastern Front, particularly in the defense of Warsaw and the Brusilov Offensive. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the First World War and the crucial role that artillery played in shaping the course of the conflict.
