EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the powerful presence of a British 8 inch Mark VI Howitzer during the First World War. Designed and manufactured by Vickers in 1915, this heavy artillery piece was a crucial addition to the British military arsenal. Its distinctive triangular platform, designed for greater stability, is a prominent feature in the image. The Howitzer, which measures 8 inches in caliber, is mounted on large wheels, allowing it to be easily transported to various locations. The gun's impressive size is highlighted by the surrounding soldiers, who appear almost minuscule in comparison. The 8 inch Mark VI Howitzer fired a large, heavy shell with a range of over 10,000 yards, making it an effective weapon against enemy fortifications and positions. The gun was widely used during the First World War, particularly in the Battle of the Somme and the Third Battle of Ypres. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the massive artillery duels that characterized the trenches of the Western Front during the Great War.
