I found another photoset of WW1 pics showing different nations' perspective.

Loading grenades for low level harassment

I believe these women are making dummy heads used to decoy enemy snipers

I'm not sure what's going on here. Those are clearly Austrian rifles, but I don't believe the soldiers are Austrian. Pic was captioned, "Macedonia"

Indian MC (and wouldn't I like to have one!)

British MG at Gallipoli

This was captioned 'gas attack in Poland 1915'

Russians in Lvov

Belgians surrendering 1914

Kuban Cossacks

German lancers ready for gas

French cat - 1916

Hmmm... snuck in one from WW2

The fact that the location has a sign reading "SANDBAG REVETTMENT" leads me to believe this is a posed training area picture.

Yes and uniforms are way too tidy but I copy pictures with captions as they come.

.......AND, if you look closely at the chap in the foreground right closest to the camera his rifle bolt is back and out of battery, training maybe or he just doesn't realize it yet??
