The image is a black and white photograph of a group of soldiers in a trench. The soldiers are wearing helmets and uniforms, and some are carrying rifles. The trench appears to be made of dirt and rocks, and there are stacks of sandbags on either side of the trench. In the center of the image, there is a man wearing a helmet and carrying a rifle. He is standing in the trench, and he is looking down at the ground. The sky is cloudy and the overall mood of the photograph is somber.
