Field Artillery received recognition for its efficiency on the battlefield as early as the 18th Century earning the name “King of Battle.” In countless conflicts victory on the battlefield was determined by which

World War I was known for its very slow-paced battle and the stage of stalemate. After advancing from Germany on France, battle turned into trench warfare. Trench Warfare is a defensive strategy in a field where the army stays in rows of trenches that were placed along the Western Front during the war. The use of trenches during the Great War was a very significant tactic during battle, by making soldiers hidden but exposed just enough to be able to attack the enemy. On a daily basis, life in the trenches was very scary and filled with horror. Death was upon the soldiers even if there was nobody attacking them. There was a continuous shell fire that would randomly take the lives of many. Some men died on their first day in the trenches, and very few were lucky to make it out unharmed. Shell fire was not the only issue in the trenches. There were plenty of diseases and infections spreading around like a wildfire. Many soldiers got infections and diseases that could not be treated such as Trench Foot or Trench Fever. Although trench warfare acts as a great defensive and offensive measure, it became very dangerous because of the many different causes of death including shell fire, diseases, and infections.

Although trench warfare was beneficial in certain situations of the First World War, the conditions and roles of military leaders in trench warfare were harmful. The conditions of the trenches were horrible for the soldiers

Soon the machine gun became a defensive weapon rather than an offensive weapon, as it was used to stop offensive enemy troops across this no man’s land. Gas was used infinitely by both sides in an effort to triumph over the trenches. If any trench was taken by an opposing force, a succeeding trench was dug just meters behind the one taken, making advancements longstanding and difficult. In this process many troops lost their lives, more so than any other war.

The enemy had a ‘battery(a gun line consisting of four guns) and four or five companies of infantry” and they were “strongly posted behind the levee and heavy earthworks.” The fire was very rigorous, consisting of storms of Minié balls. Which resulted in a fire to the light materials of

World War I, also known as the Great War start on 1914, it was the first time largely using modern model firearm in the war. WWI have result a totally different war style under the new firearms, because the machine gun could take hundreds of people in really couple minutes, and the artillery have let each side could boom enemy in long range. The old way standing against each other’s block and shot each other doesn’t work in WWI anymore, so people invented Trenches, it basically is dig in to the ground so it can avoid the machine gun on the ground. Trenches warfare takes months and months to fight, and the trenches have become where those soldier live during the war. The life in trenches is terrible, one of the things trenches have known well know is trench foot, basically let the solider lost legs. Other issue on trench is cleaning, like lice, which end up most cloth solider wear have tons lice on it. There also have some uninvited guest such as trench rat, a huge rat that can ear injury solider alive.

Source A is highly reliable for a historian studying the experiences of Australians at Gallipoli as it is a first person account of many aspects of the experience and highly corroborates with our own knowledge of the first days at Gallipoli. Source A is a diary entry by Ellis Silas, dated 11th of May 1915, therefore it is highly reliable as it is a primary and first person account of the sixteenth day at Gallipoli. In addition, the author has most likely written the content, recalling the events still vivid in the his head which allows the chance for the author to write in immense detail. For example, “noise of the incessant crackling of rifles and screaming of shrapnel” allows the audience to visualise and understand the conditions of the day due to the author’s use of descriptive language. Furthermore, the diary entry is published on a website organised by the government, therefore it is a source that the government have examined and approved of, increasing its reliability. The majority of the diary entry is reflective of what the audience know about the first few weeks of the war such as the immense number of losses, which

The “King of Battle” is becoming a better king. The overall progression in the U.S. Army has been rapid to say the least. With every new battle, the Field Artillery has brought something new and important to that table. Paving the way to the accurate and predicted fires that we have in today’s Artillery world. We will shine light on key events throughout the history of the Field Artillery, leading up to Current technology and training goals. You will have a vastly greater knowledge of how the Field Artillery came to be what it currently is.

In 1917, Australia was fighting a losing battle in the trenches of Northern Europe during what many historians describe as “the worst year of The Great War”. Enlistments dwindled and disputes divided Australia on the home ground in the lead up to the country’s second referendum on conscription. Thousands of deaths took place on the battlefield and terrible conditions in the trenches caused morale to sink even lower than in the trenches of Gallipoli. This year brought new terrors, with Australian troops moving into new battles and positions. Furthermore, the battlefield became slippery, and dry land was hard to come by in a mess of wounded soldiers and mud filled trenches.

28/8/1914 I’ve been here for a month know and I can barely cope with the size of these trenches I the Frontline trenches are about seven feet deep and six feet wide. and there always crowded but I don’t complain. Everyone here is nice but there’s a lot of problems like the extremely poor weather conditions like heavy rain and wind now there’s huge amounts of high density mud. These conditions negatively affected the strategies that both armies were planning. These muddy conditions meant that advancement was very slow with soldiers sometimes taking over 3 hours to travel 100 metres! we, when 'going over the top', not only face machine gun fire whilst running towards enemy trenches but had to run through this mud, often getting stuck or going

Imagine standing in thick mud, surrounded by dirt walls. Artillery shells could be heard crashing into the ground as fellow soldiers were blown up in close proximity. Moaning from the wounded filled the air. Fear and panic were abundant as the soldiers employed methodical tasks they had learned in their training. A quick glance over the parapet showed the brutality of war, as this is the day-to-day life of a soldier in the trenches. During World War I new scientific know how allowed for the development and introduction of numerous types of weaponry for use in battle. Advancements of technology during World War I led to a higher number of casualties than what was otherwise possible. The technologies included guns, tanks, explosives, barbed wire, and poison gas.

Bill’s fire, followed in quick succession by Carie’s, riddled several trucks, and the rest of the 12th opened up, several handheld anti-tank weapons included. The leading tanks stopped, on fire, and the trucks served to the sides of the road. Every gun in the convoy opened up, hosing the woods in the ravine, attempting to hit the ambushers. At first, it seemed that the convoy was screwed, and then the rearguard opened up. Shells from the tanks and machine gun fire from all of the vehicles drove the attackers off.

The roaring blasts of German artillery has awoken a sleeping giant of 100,000 soldiers to overwhelm Fort Douaumont beyond the No Man’s Land. Waves of Germans swarm the ground towards the Fort with their bayonets on their long Mauser rifles pointing at the enemy’s position. The blasts of the artillery continue like endless thunder and the war cry of advancing soldiers undermines the enemy’s ability to defend their positions.
