image: the scene of a battle showing a British infantryman wearing a gas mask, poised to bayonet a German soldier emerging
from a trench on the left of the composition. The German is unarmed and has his back to his assailant. Death, personified as a dancing
skeleton, appears with obvious delight. In the background there are violent scenes representing the action on the
battlefield. | Publisher: | http://www.iwm.org.uk | Subjects: | Allegory 01/3(4-15) Death Western Front 1914-1918 Western Front trench / defences Imperial German Army military suffering Weapons Action British Army 1914-1918 British Army Military Personnel German Army 1914-1918 First World War | Source: | Imperial War Museum | Creator: | Smith, Percy Delf | Identifier: | http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/o... | Go to resource |
