EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "A Day's Expenditure of Shells from a Single French Battery of 75s during World War I" takes us back to the tumultuous era of the early 20th century. From The Illustrated War News in 1915, this image encapsulates the relentless warfare and immense firepower that defined the First World War. In this striking composition by Ken Welsh, we witness an awe-inspiring display of military might. The foreground is dominated by a vast collection of empty shell cases scattered haphazardly across the ground, serving as a poignant reminder of the sheer scale and intensity of battle. These discarded shells bear witness to one day's worth of ammunition expended by a single French battery armed with their formidable arsenal - the renowned Canon de 75 modèle 1897. The photograph captures not only the destructive power unleashed upon both sides but also highlights France's crucial role in shaping modern warfare tactics through its innovative artillery systems. This particular battery played an instrumental part in turning tides on countless battlefields during World War I. Ken Welsh masterfully brings history to life through his lens, allowing us to reflect upon the sacrifices made and lives forever altered by this devastating conflict. As we gaze at this evocative image, it serves as a solemn tribute to those who fought valiantly amidst unimaginable chaos – reminding us never to forget their bravery and resilience in shaping our world today.
