Troops of the 1st Battalion, 127th Regiment Infantry, marching through the village of Boncheres on their way to the front during World War One. This photograph, taken on August 2, 1918, shows the soldiers continuing their advance after suffering losses the previous day while storming German machine gun positions. The troops were initially relieved for rest, but due to the rapid retreat of the Germans, they had to move to more advanced positions. Boncheres, France.
