| Description | A large gun lies diagonally across the picture and a soldier stands/leans on the gun wearing a triumphant expression. The trench is a scene of devastation with uprooted trees and branches and helmets strewn around. Scenes like these were commonly used as propaganda and as a result the photograph taken was often posed. [Original reads: 'German field gun captured by the Canadians at Courcelette.'] |
