The title comes from a rejected T-shirt design for kuro5hin.org from several years ago, an aerial photo of a World War I trench system, based on the site’s slogan: “Technology and culture, from the trenches.” Not this photo.
But this one’s pretty spectacular. This is an aerial reconnaissance photo from the Imperial War Museum of the opposing trenches and the no-man’s land between Hulluch and Loos in Artois in France. The German trenches are at the right and the bottom and the British trenches are at the top left.
Photo: “Aerial view Loos-Hulluch trench system July 1917″ from the Imperial War Museum, taken at 7.15 pm, 22 July 1917. Public domain.
