This picture shows Major Beauchamp Magrath of the 8th East Lancashire Regiment in a communication trench near Fonquevillers during the winter 1915. This picture shows the dreadful condition of the trenches on the Somme soon after the British took over that section of the front.
Many thanks to Pen & Sword for providing us with these pictures, which come from Richard van Emden's The Somme: The Epic Battle in the Soldier's own Words and Photographs
