Scene through a shell hole
Wounded soldiers moving through a ravaged area, during World War I. The edges of the photograph are the wall which surrounds the shell hole. The edges of the brick are still visible. Through the triangular gap, the railway line and countryside can be seen. At the edge of the railway, collapsed masonry and debris is piled up. There is an open railway carriage in view in which soldiers with various head wounds are sitting or standing. John Warwick Brooke is thought to have taken this picture. This sort of image was both familiar and yet still startling. [Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT. Scene through a shell hole.

Portuguese at the Instructional School
Troops marching in formation down the curve of a short slope to meet their colleagues at the bottom. These troops are lined up in neat rows in the flat basin at the bottom of the hill. In front of the rows a wall has been built out of sandbags which splits the basin in half. There are also a few logs lying around. The soldiers seem to be wearing light-coloured uniforms and tin helmets. John Warwick Brooke is believed to have taken this photograph. Germany declared war on 9 March 1916 and Austro-Hungary followed on 15 Mar 1916 after Portugal refused to return German ships which they had seized.

Scene in a fortified cottage just behind the lines
Soldiers are posed outside a thatched cottage which appears to be their billet, as one man is shaving at a mirror nailed to the wall. One soldier is cleaning a Lewis gun, an automatic weapon which had a round magazine for forty-seven shells. Another man is filling the magazine. The Lewis gun was adopted as a relatively light version of the machine gun, although at 30lbs it was still quite awkward. Image attributed to John Warwick Brooke.

Scene through a shelled house
Two soldiers loading a light railway. They are standing on top of the loaded cargo. The scene is viewed through a badly shelled house, with only sections of the outer brick wall remaining. The foreground is covered in bricks and rubble. Behind the railway more shelled houses are visible. A small raised wooden platform has been placed next to the railway, making loading easier. The top of the photograph is framed by the splintered remains of a roof. Secure communication and supply lines were vital to an army's success. Light railways were reasonably quick to construct and enabled the transportation of arms and equipment, to and from the front line.
