Picture No 10825252
Date April 1915
Description Moving sand bags forward
Details

With the order for an advance having been given, British soldiers scramble out of their trench to move forward to occupy a captured German trench. Equally important, and shown here, is the movement of sand bags along with men, for the captured trench must be reconstructed on its rearward face in order to create protection for the new occupants.This illustration by Fortunino Matania was based on his own personal observation while visiting the western front in Flanders
