The Snapshots in Time Collection

Gallery: Part 2

German soldiers of the First World War appear here in revetted trenches, camouflaged gun positions, farmhouse billets, and outside a hand-painted "Funker" wireless signals post. Heavy siege guns, mounted officers leading an infantry column, and a soldier holding his child on a railway platform span the technical and deeply personal sides of the conflict.
