Captured German trench, Gommecourt, France, during World War I. This image shows a typical trench - flooded and extremely muddy. The sides of the trench have been reinforced with large posts, planks of wood and interwoven branches. This photograph gives a very good impression of how high the walls of a trench could be. Soldiers could stand upright in this trench without fear of being seen.
