| Picture No | 10822810 |
| Date | 1915 |
| Description | A British Advanced observation post |
| Details |
A ruined house is used as an advanced observation post by British officers. Situated close to German lines, the officers relay information back about the accuracy of artillery fire. The dark cloth seen behind one of the officers (with binoculars) helps to disguise any movement. Seen against a background of sky, he would inevitably attract the attention of snipers.
