'How The Weather Hindered the Advance', (1919). Creator: Unknown.
'How The Weather Hindered the Advance', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'The photograph illustrates the difficulty of movement when the weather broke down. Shell-holes were converted into miniature lakes, and, but for the duck-boards leading to the front line trenches, men floundered as in a morass. Many, unfortunately, who fell were swallowed up in the mud, and had to be counted among those posted under the tragic word missing.' From The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects, Vol. VII, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
