Lieutenant Estep of the Signal Corps is seen leading the first wave of soldiers behind a rolling barrage. Once the barrage could not be extended any further, the soldiers advanced towards their objective without the protection of the barrage. The communication between regiments remained uninterrupted. This photograph was taken between Essey and Lamarche, France, and was likely released by censor. The date of the photograph is not known.
