Summary[edit]

Description
English: What is left of a mined roadway. It appears in the foreground as a huge crater. There is a soldier standing to the left, with a bicycle, providing us with a scale for the size of the crater. In the background the fields appear to be untouched by any bombing or fighting.

The slang British term used here for German, 'Hun', gained popular usage after Kaiser Wilhelm II urged his troops to 'behave like Huns' to win the war. Scenes such as this were commonly used as propaganda, intended to reaffirm resolve against the enemy.
[Original reads: 'OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPH TAKEN ON THE BRITISH WESTERN FRONT. How the Germans thought they would stop the British advance. A roadway after being mined by the Huns.']
