EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and chaos of the Eastern Front during World War I, as Austro-Hungarian troops deploy their heavy Skoda 15cm howitzer near Ladyna-Nova, Galicia. The year is 1915, and the scene is one of frenetic activity as soldiers prepare for battle. The howitzer, a formidable weapon of war, is positioned on a muddy battlefield, its carriage hitched to a team of horses. The gunners, dressed in heavy coats and hats, are focused intently on their task, with one covering his ears against the deafening noise of the firing weapon. The action is intense, with smoke rising from the nearby position, and the air filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder. The soldiers, a mix of Austrian and Hungarian troops, work together in a coordinated effort, their faces set with determination and resolve. The scene is a stark reminder of the great sacrifices made during this period of world history, as armies clashed in a brutal and devastating conflict that would last for years. This photograph, taken from the Robert Hunt Library/Mary Evans collection, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a tangible connection to the events and experiences of the First World War.
