Some interesting photographs from 1915/16 apparently taken with cameras smuggled into the lines.  These also are photos I have not seen before, which make them all the more interesting.

I think it's the ninth picture from the top - the one captioned "Urgency is etched on the faces of men running through a trench at Beaumont Hamel." I'll bet the soldier closest to the camera was getting ready to yell at the photographer, "Get the hell outta my way!"


 
More photographs, many showing who fell killed or wounded.  What a tragedy.
