Inscriptions verso (printed in black): No. 15-AN ANTICRAFT GUN BEING WORKED IN A TRENCH / We are on the outskirts of a little village, / which, as you can see has received its baptism / of shell fire. This trench has been built of tim-/bers, pieces of plank and sand bags. Down in / the dug-out you can see the form of a soldier- / he may be either telephoning to some other / trench or eating "a snack." One soldier is / feeding the hungry maw of the machine gun / with ammunition, -the other is firing, while the / third, who is looking through a pair of binocu-/lars, is directing the gunner and watching the / effect of his shots. / [extended text] / Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.
