EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the First World War as German gunners meticulously prepare their 25cm heavy trench mortar for firing. The men, dressed in heavy coats and goggles, work diligently in the confined space of their gun emplacement, their faces focused and determined. The massive 25cm muzzle-loading mortar, a deadly weapon during the Great War, looms ominously in the background. Protective wickerwork shell containers are carefully arranged on the ground to the right, ready to be loaded with explosives and propellant. The scene is one of intense concentration and purpose, as the gunners prepare to unleash the destructive power of their weapon against enemy lines. The use of wickerwork containers was a common practice during the war to protect the soldiers handling the heavy shells from the risk of explosion. The image is a poignant reminder of the harsh realities of trench warfare and the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides during the First World War.
