EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the might and power of a British 60 Pounder Position Gun, also known as Long Toms, during its deployment on the Western Front in World War I. Published in the Illustrated War News in 1914, this image transports us back to a time when heavy artillery weapons like these played a crucial role in warfare. The sheer size and weight of this weapon are evident as it stands tall against the backdrop of war-torn landscapes. The Long Toms were renowned for their ability to deliver devastating blows to enemy positions from long distances, making them an indispensable asset for British forces during the Great War. As we delve into history through this photograph, we gain insight into the immense challenges faced by soldiers on both sides of the conflict. The Western Front was notorious for its brutal trench warfare and constant bombardment, with heavy artillery guns like these shaping the course of battles. Ken Welsh's expertly captured image not only showcases the technological advancements made during this era but also serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who fought on these battlefields. It is through photographs like these that we can truly appreciate and understand the magnitude of World War I and its impact on global history.
