| Details |
Just back from the trenches, British troops settle down in church billets during a service after a stretch of work in the first line on the Western Front. By a church column, soldiers can be seen being served their rations of soup. Men can be seen peeling off soggy puttees and weapons are piled up on the paved floor.
