EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the tumultuous years of the First World War. The image showcases a collection of trench mortars, once in possession of the Germans but now captured by Allied forces. These powerful weapons were crucial in the brutal siege warfare that dominated the battlefields of Flanders. The photograph's unknown creator has perfectly captured both the destructive force and historical significance of these heavy artillery pieces. Their imposing presence serves as a stark reminder of the immense challenges faced by soldiers on both sides during this devastating conflict. Intriguingly, this print is featured in "The Great World War - A History". Volume II, edited by Frank A Mumby. Published around 1920, this book provides an invaluable account of one of humanity's darkest chapters.
