Four soldiers in a captured German dugout. Inside there is a lantern, table and chairs, and a few pictures on the wall. One soldier holds a record, whilst another cleans or fixes a gramophone. A dugout was a shelter dug into the wall of a trench. Their sizes varied from the one-man 'cubbyhole' to deep underground chambers which could accommodate several soldiers.
