EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures General George Barnett of the United States Marine Corps intently testing the Colt Automatic Machine Gun at the Marine Corps Rifle Range in Winthrop, Maryland, in 1917. The image, created by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, documents an important moment in military history during the First World War. General Barnett, dressed in full military uniform, is shown focusing intently on the gun's recoil as he pulls the trigger. The gun's powerful muzzle flashes intermittently, illuminating the otherwise darkened range. Surrounding him are several men in uniform, some of whom appear to be observing the test, while others are preparing for their own turns at the firing line. The introduction of automatic machine guns like the Colt model revolutionized military tactics and played a significant role in the outcome of the First World War. This photograph is a testament to the innovative technology and the dedication of the military personnel who trained with it. The Harris & Ewing studio, founded by Martha Ewing Kuntze and her husband George H.W. Harris, was a leading photographic studio in Washington D.C. during the early 20th century. Their extensive collection includes numerous images of military personnel and significant historical events, making it an invaluable resource for historians and researchers.
