Description: | John NASH 1918
image: Three British soldiers shelter under a corrugated iron roof in an advanced post. Another soldier sits in the
immediate foreground on sentry duty, looking towards one of the stacked rifles on the left, which has a small mirror mounted on the bayonet
to enable him to view over the parapet. Beyond the shelter, the bomb-damaged hills of No Man's Land are visible, with lines of stakes
designed to hold barbed wire stuck in the ground. All four soldiers have a small blue square of cloth on their left shoulders, identifying
them as men of the 63rd Royal Naval Division.
