EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and danger of the First World War battlefield during a Zeppelin raid over Poland in 1915. The scene shows soldiers of the Allied army, positioned by a slope running down a railway track, readying themselves for attack against the enemy above. A mix of infantry on foot and cavalry on horses can be seen, all with rifles at the ready, focusing their sights on the looming threat in the sky. In the foreground, a quick-firing machine-gun, built into a motor vehicle, spews out bullets, providing crucial support against the aerial assault. One soldier, with binoculars to his eyes, intently observes the reaction of the Zeppelin, assessing the damage inflicted and planning the next move. The date, 1915, marks a pivotal moment in the war, as the use of Zeppelin airships as weapons became a new and terrifying reality for soldiers on the ground. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the bravery and resilience of the troops during the First World War.
