Description

Original caption:

“

SCREENED FROM HOSTILE AIRMEN: BRITISH GUNNERS IN ACTION AT THE FRONT.

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.—[Photo. by Photopress]

”

Due to the arrangement of the page (See File:Illustrated War News, Dec. 23, 1914, page 38, complete, partial restoration.png) including the caption would have unbalanced the image. Please see that file to confirm text.

Note: The blue-green colour is accurate; the Illustrated War News appears to have used a variety of inks; I'm not sure if this represents the apparently varied printing processes they used, or what.
