EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in time during the First World War as German gunners meticulously load a 25cm trench mortar at Notre Dame de Lorette, near Arras, in northern France. The year is between 1914 and 1918, and the scene unfolds against the backdrop of the Western Front. The gunners, dressed in their heavy winter uniforms, work diligently to ensure the accurate placement of shells into the mortar. The trench mortar, a formidable weapon during the war, was used to bombard enemy positions from a relatively close range, making it an essential component of trench warfare. The men work in unison, each with a specific role in the loading process, showcasing the precision and teamwork required to effectively deploy this deadly weapon. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the harsh realities of life on the front lines, highlighting the bravery and determination of the soldiers as they carried out their duties in the midst of the Great War.
