| Description | This is a dramatic shot of thousands of German prisoners. It gives an impression of an endless mass and would have been very useful for propaganda purposes, both to depress the Germans and to relieve the British. This image was probably taken after the Allied advance of August 1918. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT IN FRANCE. A batch of German prisoners.'] |
