Down below in this shelter pit, supported by / cross beams, you can discern the face of a / French soldier who is resting, while his com-/panion a little distance away has lifted his / head and shoulders out of a hole and is "pot-/ting"the enemy whose trenches are but a / few hundred yards away. And as you look / across the country to ur left you may see / these trenches and shelter pits zig-zagging on / for several miles. [extended text] / Copyright by Underwood & Underwood.
