The image is a black and white photograph of a trench dug into the ground. The trench appears to be made of dirt and rocks, and there are several rows of sandbags on the left side of the image. On the right side, there is a hill with a few people walking on it. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is bleak and desolate. The photograph appears to have been taken during the early 20th century.
