The field of passchendaele
image: a battle scarred western front landscape near passchendaele in flanders. A large water-filled shell hole dominates
the foreground, with two dead soldiers lying nearby on the left. Beyond them is the entrance to a dugout, a small bomb damaged brick
structure and numerous bare tree stumps representing the remnants of a small wood. These stumps are echoed in a web of barbed wire on the
right, held up by wooden stakes. On the horizon a few beams of sunlight pierce the heavy black cloud, two shells exploding to the
right. Date: 1917 (First World War).
