EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative postcard image captures the grim reality of war as New Zealand troops in France during World War One prepare to load artillery shells for the front lines. The scene takes place in an open-air dump, where the large, heavy shells are carefully arranged and then loaded into the limbers of horse-drawn artillery wagons. The Anzac soldiers, a part of the larger Allied forces, work diligently to ensure that the necessary ammunition is ready for the next barrage. The image, dated circa 1916, offers a poignant glimpse into the daily life of the soldiers during this pivotal moment in history. The Great War in the Western Front was a grueling and brutal conflict, with both sides relying heavily on artillery to gain an advantage. The New Zealanders, along with their allies, played a significant role in the fighting, contributing to the eventual Allied victory. This powerful image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these brave men and their unwavering commitment to their cause.
