.............have a look at this collection of images from WWI http://www.flickr.com/photos/nlscotland ... 150609895/ there are over 1,990 of them and they are very interesting and high quality too.

That is a good link.....and you weren't kidding about there being a lot of photos. I even noticed the one that is used on the jacket of the book you are reading. Only they didn't photoshop the color onto that one soldier going over the top for effect.

Good idea, Duncan. If nothing else it shows Enfields and assorted other weapons in all sorts of situations from training to combat. I noticed a number of photos in which troops used, more often than I had realized, that canvas cover over the rifle action to protect the action from the elements.
