. In this print, taken in October 1915, the British Army proudly displays a collection of captured German field guns in London. The photo captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the spoils of war from various battlefields alongside the regiments that participated in their capture. The signs placed strategically in front of each gun provide an intriguing glimpse into the origins of these powerful weapons.

This image serves as a poignant reminder of both triumph and sacrifice during World War I. It symbolizes Britain's determination to defend its homeland against German aggression while honoring those who fought bravely on foreign soil. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are transported back to a time when military might was displayed for all to see.
