EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of the Australian artillery unit during the Battle of Bullecourt in northern France on 19 May 1918, during the First World War. The Australian 18-pound field gun is seen in action on the Western Front, with a large stack of shells in the foreground, ready for use. The gunners focus intently on their task, as the gun fires a heavy projectile towards the enemy lines, sending plumes of smoke and dust into the air. The Great War was a time of unprecedented conflict, and the use of artillery was a crucial component in the strategic battles that defined the Western Front. The Battle of Bullecourt was a significant engagement, with the Australian and Canadian forces attempting to break through the German defenses and seize key ground. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the Australian Imperial Force during their service in Europe, and the critical role that artillery played in the outcome of the First World War.
