Original – "Our illustration gives an interior view, so to speak, of a gun-position, in the British lines at the front, screened by head-cover to escape observation by German airmen. The overhead covering is seen with its deceptive thatch, apparently of straw, and the gunners are shown in action loading the gun. The man to the left is setting the time-fuse of a shrapnel shell." - Illustrated War News
Reason
A nice, contemporary illustration of a shrapnel shell in use. Only one in the article.
