EDITORS COMMENTS
In the chaotic aftermath of the First World War's bloody battles, the threat of unexploded ordnance continued to pose a grave danger to civilians, particularly those working in agricultural areas. In this evocative photograph from 1916, a brave French soldier employs an early bomb disposal method to detect and neutralize these hidden menaces. The soldier holds an electrical induction balance, a crucial tool in the arduous task of locating buried explosive shells. The device, which caused an audible alarm, was carried by the soldier while his assistant walked behind, ears tuned for the telltale sound. These shells, remnants of the brutal conflict, had been responsible for inflicting large numbers of casualties on unsuspecting civilian agricultural workers. The importance of this pioneering method in minimizing the risk of further harm cannot be overstated. The image captures a poignant moment in the history of bomb disposal, a testament to the courage and ingenuity of those who faced the lingering dangers of the battlefield long after the guns fell silent.
