Sadly almost certainly a fake photo. Issues with how you'd get such a sharp image of anyone in motion in 1912 aside, look at the shadows and see where the light is coming from:
Now look at battering ram's helmet, especially where it meets the wall. Where's the shadow? Where would you expect the shadow to be?
I want some of what you're smoking. The lighting source looks 100% consistent to me. Literally the right side of everything is consistently illuminated. I would expect to see battering ram's helmet shadow to be against the wall. There it is. Also, battering ram isn't in motion. He's definitely stopped moving at this point.
