I have been interested in a photo from the Battle of the Somme. I have tried to recreate it from a different angle. It’s not exact. The last photo is the original and is quite well known.

This year marks the 110th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. Beaumont-Hamel, where a young signalling officer, J.R.R. Tolkien, was stationed, is now a site of profound peace. All quiet on the Western Front.
