The image is a black and white photograph of a group of soldiers in a trench. The soldiers are wearing helmets and carrying rifles, and some are carrying stretchers. The trench appears to be in a wooded area, as there are trees and bushes in the background. The sky is cloudy and the ground is covered in dirt and debris. There are several soldiers lying on the ground, some of them are carrying bags or stretchers, while others are standing around them. The overall mood of the image is tense and somber.
