Image IWM (Q 4504)

This talk examines photographs taken by serving British soldiers during the First World War. Along with looking at typical themes and subjects photographed there is also a discussion around how these images reached the British press, the attitude of the military authorities to soldiers with cameras and how this amateur work sits alongside that of official photographers.
