This picture shows a French boy who has been arrested under suspicion of being a spy, somewhere near Pommier on the Somme Front. There was something of spy mania before most major offensives, with some fairly daft stories circulated.
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
