Description: | image: a squared up preparatory drawing for John Nash's painting 'Oppy Wood'. The lower half of the composition has a view
inside a trench with duckboard paths leading to a dug-out to the right. Two British infantrymen stand on the firestep to the left, looking
out across the water-filled shell holes of No Man's Land. There is a grove of shattered trees littered with corrugated iron and planks at
ground level to the right of the composition. Nash has loosely sketched out some of the cloud formations in the sky that were to become a
prominent feature of the finished painting.
