EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and determination of the French military during World War II, as a team of soldiers from the French 2nd Army carefully aim and prepare to fire a Canon de 155 C modèle 1917 Schneider howitzer in France. The Canon de 155 C modèle 1917 Schneider, also known as the Long Tom, was a powerful and versatile weapon used extensively by the French and Allied forces during the First World War and the early stages of the Second World War. The image shows the intricate process involved in loading and firing the howitzer, with soldiers carefully positioning the large artillery shell and securing it in place before igniting the explosive charge. The tension and focus on the faces of the soldiers underscore the gravity of the situation and the importance of their mission. The Canon de 155 C modèle 1917 Schneider was a crucial weapon in the French military arsenal during the early years of World War II, and its use was instrumental in the defense of France against the German invasion in 1940. Despite its effectiveness, the weapon was eventually phased out due to its obsolescence and the increasing availability of more advanced artillery pieces. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the soldiers of the French 2nd Army during the darkest days of World War II, and the vital role that artillery played in the outcome of the conflict. The image also serves as a testament to the enduring power and significance of historical weapons, and the important role they play in shaping the course of history.
