EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a fascinating piece of history during World War I. The image showcases an apron made of steel cables attached to balloons, designed by Major-General E B Ashmore as a defense against German Gotha bombers attacking London. This innovative invention was a crucial part of the aerial warfare strategy employed by the British in their efforts to protect their homeland. The photo provides a glimpse into the early 20th century, specifically the 1910s, when Britain faced constant threats from enemy aircraft. It highlights the determination and resourcefulness of individuals like Major-General E B Ashmore who sought creative solutions to counter these attacks. The stark contrast between the dark sky and the intricate network of steel cables suspended from balloons creates a visually striking composition. It serves as a reminder of the ingenuity displayed during times of conflict and how technology can be harnessed for defensive purposes. This historical snapshot not only documents an important moment in wartime history but also sheds light on the resilience and courage exhibited by those on Britain's home front during World War I. The photograph is part of a private collection, preserving this significant aspect of our past for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
