In the centre, an 18-pounder field gun is manned by three Canadian gunners; billowing clouds fill the air to the right, from the ongoing bombardment, while ammunition on the ground to the left are a reminder of the constant nature of the initial artillery attack. Behind them, a sergeant stands and observes the accuracy of the shot’s trajectory through binoculars. The lower portion of this poignant image is framed by a banner; in its centre, selective gold plating showcases the winged figure of “Victory,” as it appeared on the Victory Medal that was awarded to the allied soldiers of the First World War.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51176206041220,"sku":"133229","price":159.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0967\/3447\/8468\/files\/2015_20_Fine_Silver_Coin_First_World_War_Battlefront_Series_The_Battle_of_Neuve_Chapelle_reverse__46029.1425005857.1280.1280.jpg?v=1759524370","url":"https:\/\/www.westedmontoncoinandstamp.com\/products\/2015-20-fine-silver-coin-first-world-war-battlefront-series-the-battle-of-neuve-chapelle","provider":"West Edmonton Coin \u0026 Stamp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
