Description | East Surrey Regiment kick footballs |
Details |
Soldiers of the East Surrey regiment advance through heavy fire towards enemy lines, kicking footballs as they go. The footballs were provided as a means of encouraging the men to attack. Needless to say, the footballs made a lot more ground than many of the men.
