Hello all
This is the second of what will be four in all of dios dealing with The Great War. Completed in 2017.
Title is “Hun Deserter To the Rear! / News From Home”
It shows two scenes: Two Tommies in a front line trench, escorting a slightly wounded German prisoner but not to the satisfaction of an officer, who is not happy with the Hun being in the trench and is giving one of them a good telling off.
Elsewhere, one soldier is reading a letter with news from home to his mate (who is “enjoying” a tin of Bulley Beef)
The Idea was to show aspects of “trench Life” in general, and the scenes might, or might not occur at the same time and can be viewed as separate vignettes.
Although rats and mud do feature, I have tried to show a slightly “less Western Font - kliché” scene by keeping the terrain surface dry and the shell holes too shallow to be filled with ground water rising up – I mean, not even I Flanders Fields does it rain all the time….
The ground Water level is low enough to rise to the bottom of the trench and puddles and mud abound.
I have taken creative license in a few places, but it is still a correct representation of a British WWI frontline Trench.
Do Pardon the poor mans' photo set up and the tablet pics...
