With 'land battleships (tanks) in the background, this image shows infantry advancing during the attack on the famous Hindenburg Line. As the Hindenburg Line was finally overrun by the Allies in the autumn of 1918, it seems highly likely that this is when this photograph was taken. The Hindenburg Line was a massive system of German fortifications that extended to a depth of 15 kilometres, rather than just a shallow line of trench defences. These fortifications ran all the way along the Western Front, stretching from the northern coast to Verdun. The decision in September 1916 to build these defences was crucial, since it showed that the German generals were preparing to fight a defensive war. As there were no strong back-up lines behind the Hindenburg Line, once it had been breached, retreat was the only viable option left. (Hindenburg Line = a system of German defence fortifications behind the northern and central sectors of the Western Front, constructed between the northern coast and Verdun.)

Soldiers in kilts, possibly from a Highland Regiment, working in a wooded area. They appear to be wearing a protective covering or 'apron' over their kilts. The two men in the foreground are carrying a long and narrow tree between them. Some of the men in the background are using axes to fell more trees. The ground is covered with branches and leaves. Many trees were cut down during the war to provide the vast quantities of timber needed for building trenches, bridges, roads and railways. Sawmills were set up behind the Front and whole teams of men, the Canadian Forestry Corps most famously perhaps, worked steadily to meet the huge demand.

Derelict train with soldiers standing in it, France, during World War I. The camera is face-on to the end of a blown out train carriage which is still sitting on its lines. The ground around the train is littered with branches and bark. The metal structure of the train is still intact but the wooden sides have little holes as well as big missing chunks. Seven soldiers are standing inside the carriage and looking out through these large gaps. They all appear to be quite relaxed and smiling. This photograph would have been good propaganda illustrating the might of the Allied soldiers and the power of Allied Forces against the vilified German enemy.
