| Description | Soldiers in a trench, France, during World War I. A group of soldiers pose for the camera in a trench. All of them are wearing steel helmets and many of them are holding some form of weaponry. One man, third row back and third from the left, holds up a sign for '250 WILD WOODBINE CIGARETTES'. To the left we can just see what is possibly the entrance to a dugout. The landscape behind them is rather bleak. [Original reads: 'EUROPEAN WAR - WITH THE BRITISH FORCES IN FRANCE - A group in the trenches.'] |
