EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and determination of the British artillery forces during the First World War. The image, taken in May 1918 near the city of Kirkuk in what is now Iraq, depicts members of the 55th Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (RFA), manning their 18-pound guns. The guns, mounted on wheeled carriages, are in the midst of being deployed, with the men intently focusing on their tasks. The 18-pound guns were a mainstay of the British artillery during the war, capable of firing shells over long distances and with significant penetrative power. The Middle East was a crucial theater of operations for the British during the First World War, with the campaign in Mesopotamia (now Iraq) seeing intense fighting between Allied forces and the Ottoman Empire. The 55th Brigade played a key role in the advance towards Kirkuk, helping to secure the region for the Allies. The scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the bravery and skill of the British gunners, who played a vital role in the outcome of the war.
