The aftermath of battle, 1918

Photograph, World War One (1914-1918), Western Front, 1918.

British soldiers shelter in a makeshift dugout. The corpse of a German infantryman lies outside. 1918 was the most costly year of warfare on the Western Front. The German Spring Offensive and the Allied counter-attacks that followed it cost each side over a million men.
