Alongside Anger Bomb Dangerous Fins Huge Live Unexploded
EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the First World War, this poignant image captures the moment of unease and danger as a small French child stands next to a massive, unexploded 100kg German bomb in 1918. The date, towards the end of the war, speaks to the prolonged and devastating impact of the conflict on civilians. The child, with a look of both curiosity and apprehension, stands in stark contrast to the towering bomb, its tailfins jutting out menacingly. The bomb, a remnant of the brutal warfare that ravaged Europe, is a reminder of the constant threat of danger that civilians faced during this time. The 1910s were marked by the innovation and deployment of new military technologies, including larger and more destructive explosives. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of those living in war-torn areas, and the precarious balance between fear and survival. Despite the danger, the child's presence next to the bomb underscores the resilience and determination of those who lived through the horrors of the First World War.
