EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and danger of the Macedonian Front during the First World War. British gunners are seen in action, expertly loading and firing an 18-pounder gun near the Struma River in November 1916. The 18-pounder, a formidable weapon of the Great War, was a key component of the British Army's heavy artillery arsenal. In this image, the gunners are focused intently on their task, their faces set with determination and concentration. The gun's recoil is evident in the position of the crew, as they brace themselves against the force of the weapon's discharge. The air is thick with the acrid smell of gunpowder and the sound of shells being loaded and fired is a constant backdrop. The Struma River, a serene and picturesque body of water in peacetime, is now a chaotic and dangerous landscape, with the constant threat of enemy fire. The British troops are prepared for the worst, their guns primed and ready to respond to any threat. This powerful image provides a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare on the Macedonian Front, and the courage and determination of the soldiers who fought there.
