Description: A chubby soldier, in close-up, cuddles two lambs. Another feeds chickens from a metal plate, letting one stand and balance on the plate. One of the men puts on a German helmet and trench body armour, and is attacked in play-acting by another soldier with a spade, whereupon he surrenders.
A short test piece made at British GHQ Montreuil of soldiers with animals and German equipment, Western Front, 1916-1918.
