British soldiers in the trenches at Thiepval Wood, France, First World War, 1916, (1935). 'Not cave-men, but men of the Border Regiment occupying the Front Line trenches in Thiepval Wood. The holes they occupy were nick-named "funk-holes" as distinct from the larger "dug-outs". Sand bags played a prominent part.' From "The Silver Jubilee Book - The Story of 25 Eventful Years in Pictures". [Odhams Press Ltd., London, 1935]
