EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph depicts a French 280mm gun during World War I, circa 1916. The image captures the raw power and determination of the French military as they prepare for battle. The massive artillery piece, with its intricate details and imposing presence, is a testament to the technological advancements of the time. The gun is surrounded by a group of soldiers, their faces etched with focus and concentration as they tend to the weapon. The trench in the background serves as a stark reminder of the harsh realities of the war. The lantern slide, a common medium for projecting images during this era, adds to the nostalgic charm of the photograph. The French army, known as the 'Tommies' or 'Tommies Français' by the British, were a formidable force during the war, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into their daily life and the tools they used to defend their country. The image is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, a valuable resource for historians, researchers, and anyone interested in the history of the First World War.
