EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and intensity of heavy artillery in action during the First World War, specifically at Helles, Gallipoli in 1915. The image depicts a 60-pound battery in full swing, with men intently focusing on their tasks as they prepare to fire. The guns are perched precariously atop a cliffside, their massive barrels jutting out menacingly against the rocky backdrop. By July 1915, there were only eight of these guns in operation at Helles, and by the beginning of August, all but one had succumbed to the harsh conditions and the rigors of constant use. The 60-pounder guns were a formidable weapon of the time, capable of firing a 60-pound projectile over a mile and a half. Their deployment at Gallipoli was a crucial part of the Allied attempt to break through the Ottoman defenses and secure a foothold in the region. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the great sacrifices made by the soldiers involved in the campaign. The men in the image are focused and determined, their faces etched with the strain of long hours and intense concentration. The artillery fire was a constant presence on the battlefield, and the sound of guns roaring in the distance was a constant reminder of the ongoing conflict. This powerful image offers a glimpse into the raw, unfiltered reality of war time, and serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers who fought in the First World War. The battered and broken guns in the background are a stark reminder of the toll that war takes on both the human spirit and the machinery of war.
