EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print from 1915 showcases the revolutionary use of periscopes during the First World War, a technological innovation that significantly altered the landscape of both land and maritime warfare. In this image, a British soldier intently peers through a periscope, hidden in the safety of a trench, scanning the enemy's position. The periscope, an essential tool for maintaining a strategic advantage in the brutal trench warfare, allowed soldiers to observe the enemy without exposing themselves to danger. Meanwhile, on the other side of the conflict, an officer aboard a German submarine examines his surroundings through a periscope mounted on the submerged vessel. The amphibious periscope, an engineering marvel of the era, enabled submarines to navigate the depths of the ocean undetected while still keeping a watchful eye on the surface. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the ingenuity and adaptability that characterized the First World War. As we gaze into the past, we are struck by the profound impact of these inventions on the course of history. The periscope, a seemingly simple device, transformed the way wars were fought, offering soldiers and sailors a newfound ability to keep a watchful eye on their enemies, both on land and at sea. This image is a testament to the power of human innovation and the enduring spirit of those who served during this pivotal moment in history.
