Description: | E. Handley-Read*
image: a British infantryman on observation duty in a trench on the Western Front. The man stands at a heavily sandbagged parapet looking through a loophole out into No Man's Land. He stands with his back to the viewer, his rifle, with bayonet attached, propped up against the parapet beside him. Three dirt steps lead up to his position, which appears to be elevated to form an observation post. The surrounding walls of the trenches are also piled high with sandbags.
