Staged Scene of Two British Soldiers Assaulting a German Bunker


"At close grips with the Hun." Staged scene of two British soldiers assaulting a German bunker, c. 1918. One of a number of similar photographs taken at the same bunker. Animated stereoview.

The bodies of German soldiers seen in the posted animated stereoview above disappear in a scene that was presumably meant to portray the aftermath of fighting in the bunker. Not sure if the two were released in the same stereoview series, but this one was published by Realistic Travels.

Another half stereoview I believe to be part of the same series and published by Realistic Travels:
