This stereoscopic photograph, created between 1914 and 1918, is a powerful visual record of the First World War. Titled "Rapid fire! Having found the range, our guns—one is seen in recoil—make it hot for the Bosche", the image captures the intense action of a British artillery unit in the field. The viewer is presented with a split-screen perspective, creating a sense of depth and immersion. The dramatic recoil of the gun barrel and the concentrated expressions of the soldiers convey the immediacy and danger of the situation. The use of sandbags for fortification, the obscured location, and the focus on the gun itself are hallmarks of war photography during this era. This image serves as a reminder of the destructive power of war and the bravery of those who fought on the front lines.
