A sentry watching for any sign of gas attacks. He is squatting beside a notice which reads, 'gas gong'. The gong appears to be a large metal drum, like an oil drum. The drumstick is hanging from a string tied to the notice. The fear of gas is described in Wilfred Owen's poem, 'Dulce et Decorum est', ' GAS! Gas! Quick, boys! .. An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling / And floundering like a man in fire or lime .. Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light / As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.' [Original reads: 'The Gas Sentry.'] http://digital.nls.uk/74549298

A grave outlined by a few sticks in a muddy puddle. A simple cross bears the date 25 November 1916 and the inscription, 'RIP unknown British Soldier found buried'. Many men who died were never identified. Each of the countries involved in the war chose one of their unknown dead soldiers to represent the many who were never identified or whose bodies were never found. In Britain, the unknown soldier is buried in Westminster Abbey. [Original reads: 'Grave of an unknown British soldier.'] http://digital.nls.uk/74549294

Five British soldiers standing in the snow outside a building with the sign, 'Div[isiona]l Baths' . There appears to be a fairly large town in the background, so these soldiers were probably on a rest period away from the Front. Often men had only two or three baths in a month. Baths were a luxury after life in the trenches. The soldiers were not only dirty and smelly, but usually covered in lice, which were a constant irritation and could carry Trench Fever. [Original reads: 'Snow at the front. Feeling fit after the bath.'] http://digital.nls.uk/74549292

Soldier collecting snow to melt for water, Western Front. In this photograph, a British soldier is shown filling a small mess tin with snow. The original caption explains that he was about to melt the snow to get some water, as the Germans had poisoned the water supply in the area. This was a common tactic of the Germans when they were forced to retreat. It not only demoralised the Allies, but created practical difficulties for them. The letters RE on the soldier's left shoulder suggest he was a Royal Engineer. By his cuff he has a good conduct chevron and a single wound stripe. [Original reads: 'The ever resourceful Tommy. As the Huns have poisoned all water, Tommy makes snow answer his purpose.'] http://digital.nls.uk/74549290
