EDITORS COMMENTS
August 1918: Amidst the chaotic backdrop of the final months of the First World War, British and Armenian gunners stand resolute in their defensive position against advancing enemy forces in Baku, Armenia. The image captures a pivotal moment during the defence of this strategic Caucasus city, as the gunners prepare to fire a 6-inch Russian Howitzer. The heavy artillery piece, a relic of the former Russian army, roars to life, sending a shell hurtling towards the enemy lines. The gunners, their faces etched with determination and focus, work in unison to ensure the successful deployment of their weapon. The Great War, a time of unprecedented global conflict, had reached the Caucasus region, and the defence of Baku became a crucial battlefield for both the Allied and Central Powers. This powerful photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the soldiers who fought in this far-flung theatre of war, and the destructive power of the artillery that shaped the course of the conflict.
