| Description |
English: A Canadian field gun crew bombarding enemy lines. The force of the explosion as the shells are fired is indicated by the cloud of dust surrounding the guns and the recoiling posture of two of the gunners. The shells stacked to the left of the picture represent just a fraction of what would have been fired during a heavy bombardment. Field artillery was probably the most significant weapon in deciding the outcome of the war. Although bombardment of enemy positions was a military tactic stretching back over centuries, World War I saw artillery used on a vastly increased scale. Most major infantry attacks were preceded by several days of heavy bombardment, and throughout the war the race continued to produce more powerful guns. Initially German production was superior, but eventually the Allies were able to construct better weapons, in greater numbers. |
