'An Attack Led By A Bombing Party', (1919). Scene from the First World War, 1914-1919: 'Plunging across broad ditches of mud and a forest of barbed wire and other entanglements, through shell, machine gun, and rifle fire, our [British] men, each armed with five or six hand-grenades, hurled themselves against the German line, bombing them as the Germans broke and fled in terror like frightened rats at the sight of the bayonet.' From "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects", Vol. III, by W. Stanley Macbean Knight. [Caxton Pulishing Company, Limited, London, 1919]
