Summary[edit]
DescriptionWise old owl lived in an oak (4687909951).jpg |
English: Station platform, near Amiens, France, during World War I. Two unidentified men on a station platform. One appears to have a British Army greatcoat and an officer's cap, although he is wearing civilian trousers. The cap badge is indistinct but possibly bears crossed carbines. The second man is in a dark uniform, with a braided kepi-style cap of the type worn by French officers. The photograph has no original caption. The station is likely to be in the area near Amiens, as one sign reads 'Vers Amiens' (towards Amiens). The second sign is a propaganda notice against careless talk. It reads 'A wise old owl lived in an oak. The more he saw the less he spoke. The less he spoke the more he heard. Soldiers should imitate that old bird.' |
