The image is a black and white photograph of a group of soldiers in a trench. The trench appears to be in ruins, with rubble and debris scattered around. The soldiers are wearing helmets and are standing on top of a pile of rubble, with one soldier lying on the ground and another standing next to him. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the soldiers and the trench.
