The image is a black and white photograph of a group of people lying on the ground in a trench. The trench appears to be under construction, as there are piles of rubble and debris scattered around the area. The people are covered in blankets and appear to be dead or injured. The photograph is taken from a low angle, looking up at the people lying down. The text at the bottom of the image reads "Nach den Angriffen am 19. Juli 1916 bei Fromelles südliche Armentiertes" which translates to "The death of the people from the early 20th century" in English. The date "19. July 1916" is also visible in the bottom right corner.
