Summary edit

Description
English: Officers' dugout, Western Front. Three officers at the entrance to a dugout. The grenade collar badges confirm the caption's identification of these men as Artillery officers. The dugout is formed of earth apparently piled up over arcs of corrugated iron, with posts and sandbags revetting the entrance.

This dugout appears fairly primitive and hastily made, but the conditions inside were probably far better than those endured by many of the ordinary soldiers in the trenches. When they were away from the trenches, officers were often billetted very comfortably in large country houses
[Original reads: 'Artillery officers at the entrance to their dugout.']
