EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and intensity of the First World War battlefield, as a French 320 mm gun is brought to bear on the northern front north of Mailly, France, on 15 May 1918. The massive gun, mounted on a railway carriage, is a testament to the ingenuity and industrial might of the Great War powers, as they sought to outgun and outmaneuver each other on the Western Front. The gunners, dressed in camouflage paint to blend in with their surroundings, focus intently on their target, oblivious to the passing aeroplane overhead. The action-packed scene is a stark reminder of the relentless pace of the war, with the gun's smoke plume rising high into the sky, and the explosions in the distance indicating the ongoing barrage of artillery fire. The use of a railway mounting allowed for greater mobility and flexibility in the deployment of these heavy weapons, enabling the French forces to respond quickly to shifting battlefield conditions. This powerful image, from the Mary Evans Collection, provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of the First World War artillery, and the immense sacrifices made by the soldiers on both sides.
