Trench digging practice on Hampstead Heath

Trench digging practice on Hampstead Heath
One of the illustrations of the training and equipment for life in the trenches in WW1 from the book 'Kitchener's Army & the Territorial Forces". Published in around 1915, once the war had been going for a while. It is clearly a propaganda exercise to encourage recruitment and inspire confidence in the population on general. The book is extensively illustrated, with anything from 1 to 4 photos or drawings on each two page spread. There are 188 pages. Apart from a few artists' impressions of real action, all the photos are of training and other preparation in the UK. If anyone needs a particular image for a project on WW1 I can scan and upload an appropriate photo, if one is available. As this publication is almost 100 years old, I am assuming that it is out of copyright
10.3.2014 This book is now available on line at archive.org/details/kitchenersarmyte00wall It is noted that it is no longer in copyright so it provides a good resource for WW1 centenary projects.
