EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking historical image captures Spanish troops in the act of employing an unconventional yet effective method for throwing hand grenades during battle. The year is 1921, and the scene unfolds in the thick of conflict. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are seen with their backs to the camera, intently focused on their targets. In their hands, they hold hand grenades with the pin pulled, ready to be thrown. Instead of the conventional underhand throw, these troops have adopted a sling-method, which involves wrapping a length of fabric or leather around the handle of the grenade and using it as a makeshift sling. This technique allows for greater distance and accuracy, enabling the soldiers to engage the enemy from a safer position. The sling is pulled taut, and with a swift motion, the grenade is launched towards the enemy lines. The import of this image lies in the fact that it showcases an innovative tactic employed by Spanish troops during a time when hand-to-hand combat and rudimentary weaponry were the norm. This historical photograph offers a unique glimpse into the ingenuity and resourcefulness of soldiers in the field, as they adapt to the ever-evolving nature of warfare. The image, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the rich history of military tactics and the lengths to which soldiers have gone to gain an advantage on the battlefield. This powerful and evocative photograph transports us back in time, allowing us to witness a pivotal moment in the annals of military history.
