German troops training to use a 17cm mittlerer Minenwerfer.
Produced by Rheinmetall from 1913-18, this type of weapon was used for destroying bunkers and field fortifications otherwise immune to normal artillery. It was a muzzle-loading, rifle mortar that had a standard hydro-spring recoil system. It fired 50 kilogram (110lb) HE shells.
There is one on display in the village of Anloy (commune of Libin), Wallonia, outside of the church.

20 October 1914
Belgian Grenadier exhausted after a day's march, tries to eat something by prying open a can of food with his bayonet.
It was during the Battle of Yser, so that would make it somewhere between Nieuwpoort and Diksmuide.

Battle of the Scarpe. Gunners of the Royal Horse Artillery in a German 5.9-inch howitzer emplacement on the Arras-Cambrai road, April, 1917.
'Battle of the Scarpe' (1917), refers to three battles that occurred during the Arras Offensive between 9 April and 4 May 1917 in the area of the river 'Scarpe'.
The river and its valley were important battlegrounds in WW1.
