French stretcher bearers and one of their dogs sheltered in the ground.
The numbers of French casualties during the Great War were appalling: it is estimated that around 1.4 million French soldiers were killed during the conflict fighting against enemy forces, facing terrible conditions in the trenches, disease, hunger and cold. Over 4 million of them were injured in the fighting, with injuries often leading to permanent disability or death.

Australian soldiers washing their gum boots outside the gum boot store at Houplines, near Armentieres. January 1917
Infantry and working parties were issued with dry boots from this store before going into the line, and on returning handed them back, after washing off the mud in the tubs provided for the purpose.

SS soldiers test the Scheveningen beach on their motorcycles, 1940, Scheveningen, Netherlands.
German soldiers stationed on the coast regularly perform agility exercises with their motorcycles on the beach along the North Sea.
In the relatively quiet first year of the war, things seem quite relaxed as here in Scheveningen with the pier in the background.
Many German soldiers took cameras from the 'Heimat' and took vacation snapshots to send home.
