EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the grim determination of French and Serbian artillery troops during the First World War, circa 1915. The image portrays a strategic position in Serbia, where the allies had formed a strong defensive line against the advancing Central Powers. The soldiers, dressed in heavy winter coats and woolen hats, are intently focused on their mission, with some manning the large-caliber cannons, while others are positioned on the observation platform, scanning the horizon for enemy movements. The artillery pieces, shielded by sandbags and camouflaged with branches, are mounted on a rugged terrain, ready to be fired at a moment's notice. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear, wintry sky, adding to the sense of isolation and intensity. The shield bearing the Serbian coat of arms, with the white double-headed eagle on a red background, stands proudly in the foreground, symbolizing the unwavering courage and resilience of the Serbian people. This powerful image offers a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers on the Balkan front during the First World War.
