EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment during the brutal and unrelenting battlefields of the Western Front in World War One. The image depicts a team of British soldiers, each clad in gas masks and manning a Vickers machine gun near Ovilliers on the Somme in July 1916. The use of gas masks was a grim necessity during the conflict, as both sides employed toxic gases to gain an advantage on the battlefield. The Vickers machine gun, a formidable and reliable weapon, was a mainstay of the British Army during this period. The team's intense focus and determination are palpable, as they prepare to defend against the enemy's relentless advance. This photograph is one of 550 images compiled by Lord Henry Seymour Rawlinson while he served as Commander in Chief in India from 1916 to 1919. The haunting image serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Great War, and the unyielding courage and resilience of those who fought on the front lines.
