EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and focus of the gunners manning an 8-inch Mark V Howitzer during the Battle of Albert in northern France, July 1916. The heavy artillery piece, camouflaged with netting and greenery, is positioned in a well-concealed emplacement near Carnoy, part of the larger Somme offensive during World War 1. The gunners, dressed in protective gear, gaze intently at the camera, their expressions a mix of concentration and determination. The Great War, a defining moment in world history, saw the widespread use of artillery as a decisive weapon on the battlefield. This image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life and duties of the artillery crews during this pivotal period. The 8-inch Howitzer, with its impressive size and firepower, was a formidable weapon in the hands of these skilled gunners, playing a crucial role in shaping the outcome of the Battle of Albert and the larger Somme campaign.
