EDITORS COMMENTS
(Material taken from the Germans south of the Somme; Small winged bombs we call them), is an evocative title for this photograph from the First World War era. The image, sourced from the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" (Collection of the War IV. The Illustration Volume CXLVIII. The War July, August, September, October, November, December 1916), captures a collection of German military equipment, including small winged bombs, or "Flugabwehr-Sprengbomben" (Anti-aircraft fragmentation bombs), that were taken as war trophies by the French forces during the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the wartime weaponry of the era, with the small bombs, featuring distinctive wings, arranged neatly on a table against a plain background. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the destructive power and innovation that characterized the First World War, as well as the human cost of conflict. The photograph's origin is unknown, adding to its historical intrigue. It is a testament to the rich visual record of the First World War, which continues to capture the imagination of scholars, historians, and the general public alike. The photograph's inclusion in the "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916" further underscores its historical significance and value as a primary source for understanding the military strategies and tactics employed during the war. Overall, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the technological advancements and the human impact of the First World War, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of historical images.
