Spotting a German plane |

Description |
Machine-gun post, France, during World War I. Two machine gunners are preparing to target an enemy aeroplane. The main gunner is sighting and aligning the Vickers machine gun, while his partner is using a telescope to spot the plane. The larger box to the right of the gun would have held ammunition, the smaller case would have carried spare parts. This photograph, attributed to John Warwick Brooke, shows interesting detail of the gun emplacement, made of earth revetted with brushwood. |
