Thank you for posting, a beautiful reading.    Pardon me for playing the wargamer button counter at such a solemn moment, but aren't those Russian infantry in the trench?  The boots and smocks seem a bit of a giveaway. :-\

I had a similar thought but resisted, the shoulder board on the rightmost figure looks to support our thesis

Could be part of the Russian brigade sent to France in 1915

Lovely video Luddite

Yes, thanks for posting this Luddite.

the "normal" (at least in Western Europe etc) thought of picture of WW1 seems to be of men in trenches.

But trenches/fortifications sprang up on all fronts of the conflict and Binyon's verses are surely applicable to all who fought anywhere in WW1.

We will remember all of them.
