EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and determination of a Gurkha soldier from the 3/3rd Gurkha Rifles, part of the 75th Division, as he expertly fires a Lewis gun from the trenches during the First World War. The date on the image is December 1917. The Lewis gun, a versatile and effective air-cooled machine gun, was widely used by the British Army during the Great War. This particular Gurkha soldier is focused intently on his target, his expression a mixture of concentration and resolve. The trenches, a stark reminder of the brutal and unforgiving conditions of the Western Front, loom in the background. The image offers a glimpse into the harsh realities of trench warfare and the vital role that the Gurkha soldiers played in the Allied effort. The 75th Division, made up primarily of Indian soldiers, was renowned for its bravery and fighting spirit, and the Gurkhas in particular gained a reputation for their exceptional marksmanship and tenacity. This powerful photograph is a testament to their valour and the crucial part they played in the history of the First World War.
