Powerful image Paul especially when you realise that this is someones relative…and still bodies being found today. Very sad.

I may be wrong but I think there are at least two German soldiers (prisoners?) in this group, one of them could be the one who helps a French soldier to walk to the dressing station. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to locate precisely this location (Carrière St Vaast). The “Ouvrage Saint Waast” was close to the “Ouvrage Liévin”, near cote 312.

A very interesting pic, as usual.

I suspect he looks far older than his age. A few year’s terror aged them

Excellent picture. My great Aunt served there as a nurse, but I’ve got no pictures. Her history was fascinating and her record from the PRO is brilliant,she travelled back and forth many times over the years, she had a full set of medals! Never met her, but feel I know her from the records.

Cracking picture, keep the hands warm, but forget the knees and the fact that he’s wearing a kilt!

Hi Paul, reading the “Great War Portraits” each day, and amazed at some excellent photo’s that you have, I wondered if they wouldn’t make a nivce pictorial book at the end of the exercise mate.
