Of these two unusual close-range photographs the lower one shows how
shrapnel looks when it bursts properly. The thick white smoke is one
bursting shell, and the little puffs of smoke to the right are the 250
or so shrapnel bullets zipping along the ground. Those to the left are
from another shell. The photographs were taken at great personal risk by
Collier’s photographer, James H. Hare
