Heavy Artillery Art.IWMART2274, Colin Gill

Heavy artillery image: a view of a heavy artillery position. A fallen crucifix lies in the far left, next to three soldiers who aim and prepare to fire a camouflaged heavy gun. Below and to the right of them a soldier sits cross-legged sewing. Close to him are two soldiers sitting down, one bowed forward in exhaustion. Above, another two soldiers are poised arranging boxes of ammunition; while in the far right, the legs of a dead or sleeping soldier stick out on a sheet of corrugated iron. Date: 1919 (First World War).
