    Trenches: A picture worth a thousand words....

    Either he has a huge chunk out of his right knee and that's a huge scar... Or... It's a wrinkle in his very tight trousers.

    You guys seeing naked legs need to go hug your wives.

    I thought something tucked into his gaiters but perhaps your right, maybe he invented 'Lycra', LOL.

    Here is another one. Sorry for the red line, its my wonderful Epson...

    Marcin,

    Super photo! What devastation. It appears the two men with the packs are being escorted by the one with the rifle, as they seem not to have rifles of their own. One is carrying some telephone wire. They must be far enough behind the lines that the last man doesn't feel compelled to wear his helmet.

    Does anyone have photos of the Marinekorps Flandern troops in the trenches?

    Maybe not what you're looking for but I have this Franz Eichhorst artist-card from a series of at least 32. You can find most part of the series here. The mentioned Collection Grabenhorst refer to I think Karl G., brother of the author of  war-novel "Fahnenjunker Volkenborn", Georg Grabenhorst, who himself served 17/18 in the Marine Infantry as Fähnrich and described his time there.
