July 31, 1915: A French Soldier Fires a Torpedo-Shell from a Trench-Gun during the First World War This historical photograph captures a pivotal moment during the First World War as a French soldier prepares to fire a torpedo-shell from a trench-gun. The torpedo-shell, a unique and devastating weapon of the time, was a straight, winged projectile designed to keep a consistent course and cause widespread damage upon impact. The image, taken in July 1915, shows the soldier in a determined stance, aiming the 21-centimeter (8.3 inches) mle 1915 Schneider trench gun towards an unseen enemy position. The winged torpedo-shell, with its distinctive finned design, is visible in the soldier's hands, ready to be loaded into the gun's barrel. Once fired, the torpedo-shell would fly a straight course, leaving the trench and soaring through the air towards its target. Upon impact, the shell would explode laterally, causing widespread damage to the enemy position. The use of these powerful weapons in the confined spaces of the trenches was a significant turning point in the war, providing soldiers with a newfound ability to engage their enemies at a distance and with devastating effect. This photograph, from the Illustrated London News collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a rare glimpse into the brutal realities of trench warfare during the First World War and the innovative weapons that shaped its outcome.
