EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw power and determination of the British military during the First World War, as four Stokes Mortars, designed by Wilfred Stokes in 1915, stand ready for action. The mortars, which measure 3, 4, 3, and 6 inches from left to right, were a key component of trench warfare and remained in service until 1936. The Stokes Mortar, also known as the "Trench Mortar," was a revolutionary weapon in its time, capable of firing up to 25 bombs per minute and reaching a maximum range of 800 yards. The mortars were designed to provide infantry units with the ability to engage enemy targets at a distance, bypassing the stalemate of trench warfare. The image captures the rugged and utilitarian design of the Stokes Mortars, with their heavy barrels, sturdy bases, and intricate sights. The mortars were typically manned by a crew of six, who would load and fire the mortars in quick succession, making them a formidable force on the battlefield. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the technological innovations and military strategies that shaped the outcome of the First World War. The Stokes Mortar was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the British military, and its impact on the battlefield was significant. The photograph also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who served during this period, as they fought for their country and for the future of the world.
