The scene showing the German trenches soldiers carrying bags and revetment support posts along the zigzag pattern of trenches.

Bottom right a guard rifle close by resting in his funk hole whilst further into the trenches there are two more soldiers relaxing perhaps reading or writing.

The trench walls are lined with wattle a very German characteristic.

Who else would of thought of depicting trench life in this way a true mark of a master medal maker
