    Small 90mm x 60mm photograph with nothing on the reverse.

    Undated. A German sentry, bravely armed with only a bayonet, a nightshirt and his kampfkatze "Fritz".

    A latrine can be seen in the background.

      Offers a different perspective to the apocalyptic drama that was WW1. Young people with a sense of humor. More eloquent than the dead bodies.
