Picture No 10825345
Date 1915
Description Deceiving the enemy
Details

While the majority of their colleagues retreat to a line of trenches further back, some British soldiers remain in the front trench to convince the Germans that the trench is still fully occupied. They do this by making as much commotion as they can, firing rifles and sending flares into the night sky .
