Mortar Entrenchment
Image
A three inch trench mortar entrenchment, surrounded by piles of logs and barbed wire fence going beyond the log fortification into a forested area. Two soldiers in British uniforms are manning the mortar, with one of them holding a mortar round as if to load it. Another solider in a British uniform with a piece of cloth over his peaked cap is standing just outside the fortification.
