Photo caption from AWM: [larger crop than shown above]

"A scene on the Menin Road near Hooge, looking towards Birr Cross Roads, during the battle on 20 September 1917. The wounded on the stretchers are waiting to be taken to the clearing stations; others able to walk are making their way along the road as far as possible.

"Identified are: Major (Maj) G A M Heydon MC, Regimental Medical Officer of the 8th Battalion (fifth from the left with his arm in a sling). To his left is Private W Bain and next to him is Private (Pte) 'Spud' Murphy. To Pte Murphy's left (wearing a pack) is 58 Lance Corporal (LCpl) Roy Arthur Findlay MM, all are members of the 1st Field Ambulance.

"Shortly after the photograph was taken a shell landed in approximately the area where Maj Heydon and Pte Murphy had been standing. The shell killed most of the wounded on stretchers and LCpl Findlay was blown under the truck, shown lying on its side to the right."

I think it's time to shoot their general.

More like time to shoot the morons making fatuous remarks tagging these photos. Maybe they don't have enough intelligence to realize what they're looking at!
Jo Angus said:
I agree. It's like spraying graffiti on a tomb stone. The disrespect and ignorance is completely beyond me.

Cannot believe the photo quality in these conditions - tripods and plates, after all, not pocket-digi cams.
