Description
France, 1914-1918. A French soldier sitting on the tail stock of a French 75mm light field artillery piece. The gun was able to shoot rapidly and accurately for long periods, and its lightness made it easily transportable. These qualities made it a mainstay of the French Army throughout the war. The soldier is wearing leather leggings that fasten at the sides, indicating that he is a member of the French Army's horse-drawn artillery. This is a stereo image. One half of the image is held at P01863.016.
