EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lantern slide depicts a pivotal moment during the First World War, as English artillery units relentlessly bombard a Turkish fort in circa 1916. The image captures the raw power and intensity of the conflict, as the artillery pieces, likely belonging to a British regiment, unleash a barrage of projectiles towards the fortified Turkish position. The soldiers, known as "Tommies," are focused intently on their tasks, their expressions a mix of determination and concentration. The smoke from the explosions billows into the sky, obscuring parts of the scene and adding to the chaotic atmosphere. The trenches in the foreground serve as a stark reminder of the brutal living conditions endured by the soldiers during the war. This photograph offers a glimpse into the brutal realities of trench warfare and the relentless back-and-forth between opposing forces. The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection, from which this image is sourced, is an invaluable resource for historians and researchers studying the First World War. It provides a unique perspective on the events that shaped the course of the war and the lives of the soldiers who fought in it.
