One night’s rations for a bombing squadron
Image by National Library of Scotland
Several hundred bombs are laid out in rows on the grass. According to the original caption these are the bombs for one night’s bombing by an air squadron. It seems unlikely that they were usually laid out in this way, which would have been cumbersome for loading. It appears probable, therefore, that this was an arranged shot for propaganda purposes.
The Allied bombing was concentrated on weakening enemy artillery and communications.

Immense R.A.F. machine ready to start with its load of bombs for Germany
Image by National Library of Scotland
R.A.F. planes being loaded with munitions, France, during World War I. The people involved in this scene are all engrossed in their activities and as a result unaware of the camera. The size and power of these early aircraft is conveyed quite clearly by this image.
Two types of bombs in the main were dropped from planes. Finned mortar bombs, called ‘aerial torpedoes’, were used for destroying targets and ‘flechettes’, anti-personnel darts, were used for more specific damage.
[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. An immense R.A.F. machine ready to start with its load of bombs for Germany.']
During the hot nights they sleep out in the open
Image by National Library of Scotland
Four female volunteers are shown sleeping outdoors, their British army helmets close to hand. The woodland cover and the tin helmets would help to protect the women against aerial attack, but they were never entirely safe: at Etaples Army Camp in April 1918 nine female volunteers were killed by German bombers.
The shape of the helmets worn by these members of the Queen Mary’s Army Auxiliary Corps identifies them as British: the distinctive ‘bowler’ style is based on an English national design dating back to the middle ages. French and German helmets were also based on long-established national designs.
[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. A detachment of the Q.M.A.A.C. encamped in a big forest in France. During the hot nights they sleep out in the open. Here are some, they are supplied with tin hats also in the case of air raids.']
