EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the remnants of a time-fuse from a German shrapnel-shell, which burst over British lines during the First World War in 1915. The image offers a stark reminder of the destructive power and violence that characterized the conflict. The time-fuse, also known as a fuze, is the explosive device that initiated the detonation of the shell. Its intricate mechanism, with revolving discs and setting devices, was designed to ensure the shell exploded at the right moment, maximizing its lethal impact. The photograph provides a tangible connection to the past, offering a glimpse into the technological innovations and brutal realities of the Great War. The hand holding the fuze adds a human element to the image, underscoring the personal cost of the conflict. The time-fuse, now disarmed and harmless, stands as a poignant reminder of the thousands of lives lost and the devastation caused during the 1915 German offensive. The photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the destructive capabilities of artillery munitions during this pivotal period in world history.
