Crossing Hun Entanglements

Crossing Hun Entanglements

Hoffman, Peter B.

A group of soldier of the Allied powers are walking through German barbed wire. They are walking within the barbed wire fences of World War I. The men are walking and carrying backpacks on their back with their guns thrown around their shoulders. They are carrying some sort of box in their left hands that almost reaches all the way to the ground. They are all wearing their helmets and the man towards the back of the line is looking at the photographer. The man in the back of the line is carrying a large object over his right shoulder, possibly a machine gun. The barbed wire is attached to wooden stakes in the ground and reach from elbow height to shoulder height at some points.
