Trench warfare 1916

Men from A Company, 11th Battalion, Cheshire Regiment, during the Battle of the Somme, 1916

An image that perfectly depicts trench warfare from 1916. There are some quality issues (scanning artifacts?), but I think the historical value outweighs the technical deficiencies.

• Support though grains are visible on the sky at the top, it has a very high level of detail and high historical value is well. --antilived ^{T | C} 05:28, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support and recommend for front page on November 11. (I swear the image needs to be rotated CCW about 0.3° to appear "level", but I'll leave well enough alone. Aborted attempt at Image:Cheshire Regiment trench Somme 1916 edit.jpg that I forgot to crop before uploading. Tagged for deletion now.) –Outriggr § 05:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
  • November 11, 2006 is already scheduled, and I don't know if I'll remember (or still be doing this) for 2007. :) howcheng {chat} 17:45, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support Dang, I almost nominated this one myself. Snooze=lose. I like the various positions of the men in the trench. It illustrates the combination of tedium, exhaustion, and fear of trench warfare. --Bridgecross 14:02, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
