| Description | A soldier being presented with a medal, during World War I. He is standing in front of four men on a small platform. One is reaching over and pinning a medal to the soldier's lapel, another is reading from a list. More soldiers are standing to the side of the platform. This is an example of an uplifting image which would reassure those at home that their 'boys' were being recognised officially for their efforts. [Original reads: 'SCENES ON THE WESTERN FRONT - Presentation of medals.'] |
