The most unusual photo

Read the caption, almost difficult to believe...

If the photo is authentic, it's a famous stroke of luck, so to speak !

The photo is from WWI era Collier's Pictorial History of the Great War.

Bursting shell nearby,
NO ... damage to the camera??
Camera did not fall over while photographer managed to "fly" in front of lense ... as he pressed the shutter standing behind/beside the camera?
Fumes/smoke already thin (trees behind visible) ... yet fragments/debris still very near point of detonation...
Sounds awfully curious to me ...
