Artillery Howitzer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph presents a British Field Howitzer, a powerful artillery piece used extensively during World War I, circa 1916. The image transports us back in time, evoking the spirit of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, as soldiers in uniform carefully maneuver the massive gun. The British Field Howitzer, a versatile and effective weapon, was a key component of the British Expeditionary Force during the Great War. Its large caliber and long range enabled it to provide crucial support to troops on the front lines, firing explosive shells to decimate enemy positions. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing the intricacies of the howitzer's design and the dedication of the soldiers who operated it. The lantern slide, an early form of photographic projection, further emphasizes the historical significance of this image. As we observe the soldiers in their uniforms, their determined expressions and focused demeanor, we are reminded of the immense sacrifices made during the war. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the past, offering a glimpse into the history of military innovation and the courage of those who served during World War I.
