The date given by LOC states between 1910 and 1915, however, assuming this photo was taken at one of the two Battles of the Somme, this photo would need to be dated either 1916 or 1918.

The photo probably dates back to when the Germans first took the area in 1914.

"THE decisive action in the battle of the Marne was won by General Foch on the afternoon of September 9, at La Fere Champenoise, or on the center of the fighting line, which was near where the Petit Morin, a tributary of the Seine, takes its rise in the marshes of St. Gond. This became the fixt opinion of students of the progress of the war, but not until long after the battle occurred. For six days, over a front of nearly two hundred miles, were assembled on either side approximately a million men."

German 77mm light field artillery shells, very common in WWI. You can see the seam between the shell case and the head. These look like shrapnel rounds. They also made gas rounds.

Wow! Cool shot!

I bet 77mm was more than enough to kill or cripple dozens of soldiers.
