EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the intensity and violence of the First World War's Eastern Front, as British Navy ships engage Turkish forces on the River Tigris in 1915. The River Tigris, a major waterway in modern-day Iraq and Turkey, served as a crucial transportation route for both sides during the conflict. In this image, British naval forces are seen firing upon Turkish positions, their guns trained on the enemy's defenses. The smoke from the explosions rises high into the sky, obscuring the view of the river and creating a chaotic and otherworldly scene. The British Navy played a significant role in the campaign to secure the Middle East for the Allies, and this photograph offers a glimpse into the brutal realities of naval warfare during this period. The First World War, also known as the Great War, lasted from 1914 to 1918 and involved the majority of the world's great powers. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the men and women who fought in this global conflict, and the devastating impact it had on the world.
