Description: | image: The scene is set during the First World War Battle of the Yser, 1915. French marines await the order to advance.
The centre figure half kneels, holding the muzzle of his rifle in his right hand. He faces to the right peering towards enemy lines over
the ruined wall of a building. A brown figure in the left foreground is a half-view of his companion. In the background between the two
figures appear the heads of four marines and above them a billow of grey smoke. To the top of the composition there are three explosions in
the sky. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | shipping Weapons Action Military Personnel FR.N commemorative | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Devambez, Paris | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
