Description: | 3908 Study for Over the Top
John Nash
The Counter Attack
Various measurements and calculations
image: a small squared up study for the painting 'Over the Top' (IWM ART 1656). On the left, a trench lined with
duckboards stretches away from the viewer. A group of soldiers clamber from the trench, going 'over the top'. Two lie dead in the trench
and another has fallen lying face down in the snow, which covers the ground. Those who have survived plod forward towards the right
without looking back. They walk beneath a grey, stormy sky, with clouds from shell and gunfire in the distance.
