EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the early days of the First World War, as Austrian artillery troops stand outside their barracks in Brussels, Belgium. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms, are shown posing next to an open-top car and a large Skoda howitzer cannon, a Morser siege gun that was a common weapon in the Austro-Hungarian army during this period. The image, dated 1914, provides a glimpse into the daily life of the troops during wartime, as they prepare for potential combat operations. The open-top car suggests that the troops may have been on the move, possibly en route to the front lines. The cannon, with its ominous presence, serves as a stark reminder of the impending conflict and the destructive power it would unleash across Europe. The photograph offers a poignant reminder of the human element of war, as ordinary soldiers carry out their duties and prepare for the unknown challenges that lay ahead.
