THIEPVALFUNK
Taken: c. July 1916
Soldiers of the 8th Battalion, the Border
Regiment, relax in a captured German dugout
near Thiepval Wood. These ‘funk holes’
provided marginally better comfort and
shelter than other trenches. The sergeant
seen here on the left is wearing a
padded cap, prepared for the
campaign to last until
winter.
