EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the remnants of war: a dump of empty 18-pounder shell cases and boxes, discarded after being used during the intense bombardment of Fricourt, northern France, in the context of the Battle of Albert during World War 1. The Battle of Albert, which took place between July 1 and July 13, 1916, was part of the larger Battle of the Somme. One British Division was responsible for the extensive use of these 18-pounder shells, which were fired relentlessly to soften the enemy lines before the ground assault. The empty cases and boxes, scattered haphazardly, serve as a poignant reminder of the immense amount of ammunition expended during the battle. The 18-pounder was a significant weapon during World War 1, capable of firing a large, heavy shell over great distances. The sight of these empty cases and boxes, devoid of their destructive power, offers a glimpse into the logistical demands of warfare and the sheer volume of resources required to wage war. This image, taken in July 1916, offers a poignant visual representation of the Battle of Albert and the devastating impact of the First World War.
