| Description | In this photograph, an Allied soldier watches as German prisoners are escorted along a path beside the trench in which he is standing. Several of the prisoners are carrying a wounded man on a makeshift stretcher. The tank in the background shows that this took place after September 1916, when tanks were first used, and most probably in 1917 or 1918. The Press stamp on this photograph indicates that it is Canadian, a reminder that each of the Allied armies had their own photographers. It is not clear from this photograph if the Allied troops escorting the prisoners were Canadian. [Original reads: 'German Prisoners bringing in their wounded. Tank in the distance.'] |
