The image is a black and white photograph of two soldiers in a trench. The trench appears to be made of stone and is filled with sandbags. The soldiers are wearing helmets and uniforms, and one of them is holding a machine gun. They are standing in the trench, looking down at the ground. In the background, there are several other soldiers lying on the ground, some of them are holding rifles. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
