EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of a 4.5 inch Howitzer artillery piece unleashing a smoke barrage during the First World War. The image, taken circa 1917, most likely at the Chemical Warfare School located on Salisbury Plain in England, depicts the explosive power and strategic importance of this military technology. Ten shells burst simultaneously, filling the sky with thick, white smoke. The use of such smoke barrages was a crucial tactic during the Great War, providing cover for advancing troops and obscuring the view of enemy positions. The intense explosion of the shells, each containing a mixture of chemicals designed to produce the dense smoke, is both awe-inspiring and a reminder of the destructive capabilities of warfare during this period. The Chemical Warfare School at Porton played a pivotal role in the development and deployment of chemical weapons during World War 1, making this photograph an essential historical record of a significant moment in military history.
