Artillery Battery Commander Communications Creeping Effect Forward Guns Information Observation Officer Orders Range Time Watching World Adjustment Barrage Fuse Observes Telephonist


EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the War Illustrated Album Deluxe, published in London in 1916, we are transported back to the tumultuous times of World War I. The image depicts a forward officer diligently observing the effect of a creeping artillery barrage while his telephonist relays crucial information to the battery commander. With intense focus etched on his face, the officer stands amidst a war-torn landscape, watching as each shell hits its target with precision. His role is pivotal - he must carefully assess the impact of each explosion and relay accurate observations to guide future attacks. The telephonist beside him plays an equally vital part in this intricate communication network. With urgency in his eyes, he swiftly transmits data through telephone lines connecting them to the battery commander who awaits orders for range aim and time fuse adjustment. This photograph encapsulates both the chaos and coordination that defined warfare during this era. It serves as a poignant reminder of how critical effective communication was on the battlefield - every second counted when lives were at stake. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot frozen in time, it compels us to reflect on not only the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by these soldiers but also their unwavering commitment to ensuring accuracy and success amidst unimaginable adversity.
