Here's my grandfather, Bill Doyle serving in the trenches ( either Gallipoli or the Somme, not sure ) He is the bareheaded soldier behind the soldier giving water to captured German troops. This picture was taken by a War photographer and was published in a British newspaper in 1916. He survived the War and attained the rank of Sargent by the War's end. When he arrived back home in Ireland he never spoke of what he had witnessed except to say that ' You had to kick the dead bodies to get the rats off them ' . This pic is very special to me and very, very rare where you can pick out a relative in a newspaper pic from that time .
