The image is a black and white photograph of a trench dug into the ground. The trench appears to be made of stone and is surrounded by a wooden fence. The walls of the trench are made of bricks and mortar, and there are several rows of sandbags stacked on top of each other. The ground is covered in dirt and there is a small stream running through the trench. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is bleak and desolate. The photograph is likely from the early 20th century.
